Poor Billy. Now he is going to feel like he is picked on and you know @BatteryOaksBilly will need a "Safe Space"!!!
He already has a Safe Place. He'll just not leave it.
What are you going to do/have done with your stimulus check?

Trying to talk the wife Into letting me buy this, even though I'll probably do the responsible thing and not buy it.

Weird, image seems focused on that log in the middle and not the real guitars on the wall to the right.
update:
spent some stimulus
on two kerosene heaters
on clearance at Lowes.
we have two really, really old ones.
they work....but for how much longer?
they came in handy during the ice storm.

He actually has some pretty cool tele's at the moment. The necks are a little skinny for my tatse, though.Weird, image seems focused on that log in the middle and not the real guitars on the wall to the right.
Thin maple necks were most of the appeal for me. Buddy had an SG though, and that thing was made for metal.

Well an edit to my plan..
I bought a new wed eater, mower...
then the storm last night knocked down a tree, not fully but enough that I’ll need to pay a tree service to remove it
As it’s over my fence onto my neighbors screens patio

I do love me a fat V neck Esquire with a hot and nasty pickup, as well
Hey Day guitars. 414 Brookstown Ave, just on the outskirts of downtown Winston. Tell 'em Buddha sent ya.

Started paying off certain outstanding bills like the kitchen appliances that were on interest free terms.
I did buy two things for myself...
Had a $20 off coupon to boot!

- Two new rear shocks for the truck.
- A nice garage fan so I don't sweat my butt off too much this summer.

Everybody needs a nice Les Paul.
I purchased a CZ-75 SP-01.
I like the cut of your jib, sir.
Thanks. Had a goodly number of Les Pauls in my playing days, though I'd gravitated more toward Flying Vs & Explorers toward the end.
I never really "gee-ha'd" with the layout of Explore's, but I had an Epi '58 V that's was balls out brutal! Natural Korina, should have kept that thing. As you can probably tell, I do love me SG's.

Once upon a time.
Learning to build my own broke me of GAS. Why daydream, when you can just build it, right? Huge fan of P-90's, whether in a nice slab of mahogany, or in a maple topped, korina semi-hollow.

Did you work for McInturf? I built basses for Keith Roscoe for 8 years or so. I haven't built another guitar/bass since, so yeah, I get it.
Nah. I was friends with Terry for years, but never worked for him. We'd discussed it as a post Army retirement gig, but the economy took a dump & the market for boutique guitars dried up.
I've got 2 beautiful Flying Vs that've been half done for over a dozen years. One 2-piece ribbon black korina with korina neck & cocobolo board & one 1-piece ribbon mahogany (same board as my "Red Special") with mahogany neck & macassar ebony board. Both with 5 ply body binding, 3 ply headstock binding, bound fretboards, etc. Bodies need routed for pickups & controls & the neck mortises cut. Intent was to do them up as "Flying V Customs" ala. LPCs, the korina as a "'58" with warmish PAF types & the mahogany with a trem & smoking hot ceramic pickups for a metal monster.

So true to my word, I decided to pass on "that log" as @premise so eloquently put it. But my wonderful wife that puts up with all my bullshit, and my son that is eons ahead of me in intelligence that also puts up with my bullshit gave me an early fathers day gift!!! I've spent the evening with her and a half bottle of Eagle Rare getting acquainted. This was a wonderful end to a pretty shitty couple of weeks!
Did you serenade her with some Thin Lizzie and ZZ Top riffs?
Hell yeah I did! At full volume! Much to her dismay.
Straight to savings as we wait for birth of baby bills come in. If anything is left, it will go to paying off a remodeling loan with an interest free term well before the "you owe us back interest date."
I really wanted a man-shed, but that is definitely being pushed back.
10 years ago, it would have gone into the boat or gun stuff.

Replace the belts and hoses on a 6 yr old ride w/120k on it.
I expect "they" will have us back in the office full time in another month or so and it's back to 80 a day commute so I need to keep it reliable.
"Stimulus" my wrinkly cranky old guy hiney.
Wrong belts and hoses for that.
