You win at life.

I'm surprised. I sniped the bid and figured a bunch of other peeps were doing that too.

I got very lucky.

When you get it, you should take a picture of yourself with it so we may further worship you.

So pleased for you!!!

What a steal of a deal Sara!!!

Congrats!

I'm just glad to know that it went to someone who is deserving and will treat it right.

Haha!! I will most certainly take a photo with it.

I wished one of you lived near me so we can stare at it together :'(

I think I'm in shock. I'm afraid to use it. Maybe I'll start a new religion with it.

I am so so so so so happy that the guitar went to a Flighty. " title="" border="0"/> " title="" border="0"/> " title="" border="0"/>

It's kinda ugly, but this is the guitar's new home.

Now I just have to set an alarm and booby trap that bitch.

you took the words right out of my mouth, nik congrats, sara!!!!

Thanks ladies!

I'd really like to know more about the guitar. Like, when/where did it get purchased? Was there a previous owner? Was it used as a weapon? Did Jemaine put a wig on it and spoon it?

I want to know what so I can tell my children. And my children's children. Even my children's children's children.

But it has to stop there because then they would be too small. They probably wouldn't even be able to lift it up.

Nah... but seriously. I want to know at lease something about it. I'm very curious.

I bet you do...

I was curious about the whole "
A string has broken during use"
bit. It intrigued me as to what use...

Also, it is quite a lot harder to break an A string than the higher strings on the guitar...

I will keep my eye out for you. So looking forward to pictures...

I will do my best to take detailed pictures.

Maybe Jemaine will get a burst of energy and let me know more about it.

*fingers crossed*

Thanks for looking out

You should open a Hard Folk Cafe in your house. Hang that axe on the wall, start serving up some overpriced mediocre food and you're all set!

For Sara:

Instruction on how to play Mutha'uckas on the guitar. Fairly easy chord progression - except for the fact that it is barre chords... Although the sooner you learn them, the easier it all becomes...

P.S. After all the accent conversations in MSN and the shoutbox, could someone please tell me what part of America this accent is from...

*looks sheepish at inability to identify...*

He sounds like he has the general / nonregional American accent to me.

But he hits the "
r"
a little hard, so maybe California / Western.

I agree;
he sounds Californian to me, a little like Arj.

Sarah, don't feel sheepish! Most of us in the US would not be able to identify regional UK accents. I think I can pick out an accent from Essex, Newcastle, Manchester, Yorkshire, Liverpool, Scotland (but not different regions within Scotland) and Wales (but not different regions within Wales). I'm a bit obsessed with the UK. Wasn't there discussion of starting an accent thread? I think we should do it.
