Holy WOW.

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!

And and and -- unlike most of *my* projects -- there's a possibility I'll get it in my hands within three months. New toy to show off next time you're down, maybe!
