This is the (I hope) much anticipated sequel to "The Beauty of Music", and there will be more to come. Lots of guitars out there to inspire me. Look forward to more Gibson, Fender, Rickenbacker, Ibanez, and more. As long as the rave reviews keep coming, you can expect more guitar-goodness. \m/
When we last left our beloved protagonist, Mike had finished a steamy first set with a stunningly well matured Gibson Goldtop Les Paul Classic. Monetary value was irrelevant once it got on its knees. Mike then left the shop, as the night shift had just ended. Without further ado, I give you Mike:
Mike shook himself back to awareness as he was blatantly cut off by a semi going at least 90 mph. Truckers were always in a hurry to go wait in the backups on 695, but this one was an asshole in a hurry. Mike realized that he had been going forty-five. On route 70, survival driving was eighty at least.
"Come on, Mike," he said to himself, "you just gotta make it home, and suppress that amazing hallucination with some alcohol. That'll fix everything."
Half a bottle of Jaegermeister later, and Mike still couldn't erase Paula the Goldtop from his woozy mind. He looked at the clock.
"6:30 already? Thanks, action movie marathon."
There were only three more hours until his shift started, so Mike decided to quickly prepare for work. He ate the last of the "homemade" takeout meal which he had been nursing for days, but the golden corn only reminded him of Paula. Mike then suited up in his usual button-down shirt and vest, and headed into work.
On the road to work, Mike's driving skills increased from the nervous wreck he had been before. He was beginning to come to 'what the hell' terms with this occurrence.
"If Paula wants me to try the other guitars, then I guess I have no right to deny her," said Mike, locking the store doors behind him as the other employees drifted back to their respective cars. "Paula," he said with a corny reverence, "I vow to carry on your will to fuck these other guitars, despite the fact that you are now inanimate."
Paula gave no comment from her pristine, playable prison.
"That's all the incentive I need to actually do this," Mike said as he moseyed towards the other models.
"Now the only tough decision is... Stratocaster, or Telecaster," Mike asked himself, considering all the possibilities and contrasts in his mind:
The Stratocaster is mainly a lead guitar, so she would probably want to take charge. Probably on top. I'm guessing somewhat petite, maybe short haired since she's lacking sustain. Also, she'd most likely be less curvy than Paula, due to her shallower tone and single pickups.
On the other hand, the Telecaster is more geared towards rhythm, so I'm gonna say she'd be more of an uke. This one is pretty worn, so in all probability she's a seasoned sexual veteran. Doesn't take much motion, but there's feeling behind every note. Does that mean she'll tease it out?
The decision coursed through Mike's brain, until he despaired, "I can't decide! I guess I could do both, If that's alright with...you?"
