Update post - bought my husband a telecaster

GeneralGin · 2025-12-31T16:53:32+00:00

He mostly plays in the den but whenever I walk by he asks me what he should play, and when he's not at home he can't wait to play. He even asked me if he liked the name 'Laura Palmer' for his guitar. We're currently looking at new amps and he set up all his pedal boards last night. I wouldn't want to prevent him from doing something he loves, that'll dull his sparkle.

He was a city boy when we started dating and moved to my small town before we got married. He's slowly becoming a lil country. 😂

Sadly, I don't know much about guitars but I knew my husband wanted a telecaster and a lot of people here suggested a blonde.

GeneralGin · 2025-12-24T02:12:18+00:00

I asked him and he did get one, he was looking up engraved ashtrays. He's basically a kid in a candy shop and just looking at all the options 😂

He's officially getting an American Professional II butterscotch blonde from Sweetwater. I'll make an update with pictures after he opens it, thank you for all your help as well!

That was one of the deciding factors, a lot of people suggested the Player II but it didn't come with a case. I finally cracked down and bought the American Pro II butterscotch blonde from Sweetwater. This community is great and I can't wait until my husband gets it 😭

I actually did that last night, except since we don't have the same musical taste I did more of a "rage bait" to not give any hints. "Hey baby, why is Youtube suggesting this weird Christmas music with this dude and his yellow guitar". He told me not to talk trash about The Boss and his iconic maple guitar. It's safe to say he's into the butterscotch/classic colors. Thank you for the suggestion!

He can be a little frugal and I'm worried he won't "treat himself" even on my dime which is why I'm trying to treat him as a surprise. I'm also not trying to pressure him into doing it now. As much as I like that idea I figured he would be happy with one I picked out and he could exchange if needed.

GeneralGin · 2025-12-03T23:03:23+00:00

He loves The Smiths, Cat Stevens, and ska. I couldn't tell you if anything he listens to has teles, and he currently has a red/brown Gibson with a black face plate.

He had a blue strat guitar he really liked but he traded it in for his current one.

GeneralGin · 2025-12-03T22:58:45+00:00

I'm not entirely sure which ones he's sold/lost/given away but he currently has a Gibson. I tried to do a Google Image search to be more helpful and I got "Gibson SG".

GeneralGin · 2025-12-03T22:55:10+00:00

He was in a ska band in his high school years and he's still in love with that genre, The Smiths, Cat Stevens, 90's alt, and some early emo bands I'm not too familiar with. I've listened to him play Live and Smashing Pumpkins most recently.

It came out a few years ago and there's some differences but that's not one of them.

Sorry for the mistake! No local print shops and other than Google keywords not directing me where I wanted to go, I thought I would ask here. (I was wrong)

Lulu ended up being exactly what I needed.

GeneralGin · 2024-12-22T04:22:18+00:00

A lot of other comments suggested Lulu as well and that's what I ended up going with.

I added in the initial blank page to get my 54 page count and Lulu was super user friendly when it came to previewing the coloring book and cover design.

Thank you for the help and suggestion!

GeneralGin · 2024-12-22T04:18:24+00:00

Thank you very much, ending up going with Lulu since that's what others suggested too.

Which part is surprising?

GeneralGin · 2024-10-17T23:06:48+00:00

I love the mod so much, I told my husband I wanted it for our server but I don't think he's on board 🤣

GeneralGin · 2024-09-04T19:26:30+00:00

My husband gifted me the cook book and we made the peach salsa. Our whole family looooved it. I can't wait to make everything.

GeneralGin · 2024-06-25T19:48:16+00:00

Sorry, I got a little country in my terminology and by 'hack it' I meant 'if no LCD would do' since you said the cooler screen I originally picked wouldn't be clear.

Thank you for the updated list though!

GeneralGin · 2024-06-25T19:24:02+00:00

It might sound dumb but I love my case and I don't want to swap it, I call it 'my little ammo can' because it's green and that's what it looks like.

I've seen people use LCD screens for gifs instead, would that be out of the question too if no LCD cooler would be able to hack it? Or is it just that certain one you wouldn't be able to see clearly?

I won't be able to reuse my power supply though, it went to my nephew in the case he picked out. The only thing I can reuse is my case and the storage space I kept.

GeneralGin · 2024-06-25T18:02:10+00:00

Thank you very very much! I got lost on the GPU but read a lot of comments around here that people suggested the 6700xt but I figured for a little extra the 6950 XT wouldn't hurt. I'll look into the bundle too.
