Guitar Doesn't Smell Like Guitar

I like weird guitars, and that's about it. I'm not big on spiritual stuff and I don't usually get scared by things other people may jump clean out of their skin about. But I had a guitar once that I couldn't get rid of fast enough. It wasn't the way it looked. It wasn't the way it felt. It wasn't the way it sounded. I had picked it up because it had these cool, bone colored knobs on a chrome pad screwed to the body instead of coming right out of the guitar as is usually seen. I never researched why they were on there like that. Maybe some of you can help me out there. It had a name on the pod and a 5 digit number. The name was "CISSA" and the number was 11653. I guess it doesn't matter because I don't have it anymore. But I'd love to know where it came from. But I digress. I got rid of it because it smelled like roses. I aired it out, I cleaned it, I polished it with a fine cloth. It veritably stank of roses. Not a gentle wafting scent. Not a mild hint of eau de rose. It was a gut wrenching nasal scathing roar of rose. Funny thing is, when I sold it I told the guy that I hoped the smell didn't bother him like it did me. He looked at me and said, "Nah . . . I like eucalyptus."

I came back to the blog to add that I dig the stories. It's the creativity, imagination and hara you bring to your comic strip and your guitars. This story- resonated and brought a smile.

Indeed, it's the energy really~

And roses. Blech! My mum and my daughter, Amp love them & I wear a ring in their honor, but for me-

With the eucalyptus- and that's a Go Figure.

Eucalyptus cleans out my sinuses. I just don't like the smell of roses while I'm playing guitar:-) I'm partial to the old Hai Karate cologne.
