Dennis,Admit it, you probably wouldn't even own that shiny new Taylor, Martin, Guild, or Takamine guitar if your spouse/partner/significant other hadn't given his or her blessing. Now that we have all the gender confusion that's endemic in the English language out of the way, here's a nice little accessory that will make your guitar look even prettier, while at the same time reminding the aforementioned purchase approver how much you appreciate the approval. It's called a truss rod cover, the tiny piece of wood that's screwed into the face of your headstock that covers up that unsightly truss rod.
It just so happens that a gentleman by the name of Bill Nichols makes custom truss rod covers (who'd have imagined?). Here's the one I just had made to honor my wife Jamie:
He does an absolutely beautiful job and can make a TRC from a library on his web site or from your photo or illustration. You can see his work at http://www.nicholsguitars.com
My TRC cost $85 plus $5 for shipping.
This is the perfect mix of romantic, smoochy and extravagant. And it's much less painful than a tattoo.
