I had said earlier in a few posts back about me kicking out the $120 for the Strat type and small Peavey amp.. Shocked the wife a few days back when my son and I went out shopping...

"Honey... I bought a $1700 guitar!"
"No you did not!"
my son looks at her and nods.. "Yes, he did"
"You're just pulling my leg"
Ta Da... Washburn Custom.. had to get me something along the lines of a Gibson Les Paul so the only thing the guitar store had along those lines that i could afford...
Wait till next month when I bring that Crate Amp and Head home for $2500 :D
