My gf at the time made me enter a big guitar playing competition that she heard about. We argued back n forth for a while. I told her that the people who enter those things are at the top of their game, and I wasn't that good. Eventually, I gave in and entered just to prove her wrong. It was cold January evening. We got there late, and my hangs and guitar were freezing. We literally walked in the door, and they called my name (pre-registered by phone). I told the guy I wasn't warmed up and m guitar was outta tune, he said no prob, we will give you 30 seconds to tune her up. So, i tuned up and played my 3 minutes worth (which I just made up on the spot).
In the end, 3rd place was a gift certificate, 2nd place was a new set of tires (which I had just bought the day before), and 1st place was an american strat.
I ended up with 1st place. (that'll teach her)
At the time I didn't like strats, so she stayed in her case for about 5 years. As I matured, I fell in love with her. Now she's my number 1, and I also have the David Gilmour model, and a MIM with Bareknuckle pickups.
