My guitar arrived today. 

I almost knocked the UPS dude over in my excitement.  I bought the box inside and busted it open to reveal my shiny new redburst guitar.

It's perfect.  It's a perfect fit for my hands, the tone is great...and it has that new guitar smell. 

I got online with my bud Steve-o, and we tuned it in...and I played the riff from 'down on the corner'.  he was impressed, even though I made a mistake with one of the fingerings. 

So, I went and I got me some more chords and tabs, and I'm sitting here with my headphones on, playing away as best I can after a couple of years of not playing.

My fingertips are red and sore.  I'm getting dents in them from the strings.

I could care less.  I'm happy.
