I had been looking for a tenor guitar for years. I know I could have found one on Ebay, but I hate to buy an instrument without playing it first.
I went to Nashville, TN to attend a cheerleading competition (my niece was the cheerer) and drink some beers with my brother. One trip downtown, I went into a music shop to ask for directions to the Ernest Tubbs record store and there it was. I was afraid to look at the price since everything else was so expensive. I nearly shit when I did, only $99. Needless to say, I bought it.
For those who don't know about the tenor guitar, here's a pic.

Did anyone else get any instruments to celebrate the birth of Jesus?
