Ok my wife is way into cats. She wants a lynx point Himalayan kitten. Now she offered to trade a new guitar for it. I don't want much. Just a solid top classical guitar that is hopefully well made with good sound. I intend to add electronics after the fact on it. So I can get exactly what I want in terms of the electronics. Wife has not been brought up to speed on that.

After all we was talking about my guitars and she said they looked a like to her. So I bought them out. One is nylon string, one steel. One has a cut away and one does not...etc etc etc. Yea about the same she says.

So then she brought up a request that about had me busting up:
She wants to use my old guitar for taking kitten pictures.
I am like you want me to remove the strings right? Well of course she says.

She thinks a picture of my guitar with a small kitten poking out the sound hole would be cute.

Bet you never got that request....

Now the question is should I let her do this?

I would say NO, David. Cats (or dogs) and guitars are not a good mix. Cats will scratch them and dogs will pee on them. We have a big stupid cat named "Stevens", (hey, Yusuf wasn't using it anymore) and I have convinced him that evil spirits dwell inside of all of my guitars. His well-being depends on continuing that myth. :laugh:

I think that was the inspiration for Harry Chapin writing "Cat's in the Cradle."

So I'll say more: ;)
Use your least valuable guitar -- they all look the same to her anyway -- and she'll be happy and grateful. Share the photos when they're done!

As I remember the story, Harry's wife Sandy had written a poem called "Cat's In The Cradle" years before meeting Harry. It was a (not-so-flattering) poem about her ex-husband. Harry set the poem to music for her and listed Sandy as a co-writer on the album.
