My sweetheart just gave me the most amazing birthday gift.
He has a friend who has been learning to be a luthier for a few years, now -- and he's having that friend make me a custom tenor guitar.
I was floored. I still kind of am.
A tenor guitar is smaller bodied than most guitars and has only four strings, which are tuned in fifths to CGDA, like a viola or tenor banjo. Being tuned in fifths means that I don't have to relearn fingerings to play it. And it will be custom made by someone who loves building instruments, just for me. *dances* *squees*
GLEEEEE!
