But wait, you say, you’re already married.  Yep, but that ain’t what I’m talking about.  You see, I’m a guitarist as many of you know.  I play lead for a pretty rockin’ P&W band at church and have been in that role for 9 years.  I don’t mean that I strum and electric guitar behind an acoustic, there is a difference.  So for the last 5 years or so my main guitar has been a Line 6 Variax.  I realize that other guitar players that see this are gonna go "What the…".  However, it really has been a good guitar and there’s a reason why I’ve been using it. 

On a typical Sunday I will have have a song that needs the sound of a Gibson Les Paul played through a Marshall stack (think AC/DC’s "You Shook Me All Night Long).  The next song will need a Fender Stratocaster through a Fender amp (think some of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s blues); while the next song will need an acoustic or something.  So you see, versatility was the key. 

However, now I feel like I’ve been "dating" guitar tones for the last 5 years and I’m ready to settle down.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been happy with my tone, and I get complements, but I sometimes feel like I’m playing a toy.  So I’m ready to settle down and I think I’ve spied the beauty that will be with me for quite some time. 

Let me introduce you to the G&L Comanche, with premium flame maple top, tobacco ‘burst finish, Z-coil pickups, gun oil rubbed birds eye maple neck, natural wood binding, tone siren with six strings.  These pickups run a little hotter than a typical Strat single coil and offer a ton of flexibility.  So here’s the darling that I’ll be partnering up with for years to come.  I’m very close to pulling the trigger…just a little more saving to do.   (courtesy of  ProGuitarShop)
