jaxfactor Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Those of you who read my thread a few weeks ago about what was going on in my life will understand where this is coming from. Sorry this is late by the way as I haven't had time to breathe lately. So I get a PM from Whomper. He asks for my address because he has something he thinks I'll like. So I return the PM with my address and politely tell him that I'm ok and that he need not send me anything. The thought much appreciated though. So about a week goes by. I pull into my driveway and see this hugh box leaning up against the house by the front door. I say to myself, "what the f"ck? I didn't order anything." Then it dawns on me. Whomper's PM. He went ahead and sent something anyway. Something that's in this hugh box. I can't imagine what it could be. So I take it in the house and after several minutes(the package was wrapped very securely) I get to the pot of gold. There's a guitar case inside. But it's heavy so there must be a guitar inside. I open it up and there she is. This absolutely gorgeous flash from the past. A note is inside the case. I won't quote the whole note, just a part of it. ".....when I read your thread about giving up your guitar, I wanted to do this for you. Enjoy this guitar. It's all yours- don't think anything of it. ...........I'm pretty sure it's at least 50 years old. Have at it bro. Good luck." I can't "not think anything of it". I mean, this guy has a heart of gold and I'm absolutely flabbergasted! I don't care if the guitar is worth a bunch or not. In my mind, it's priceless. This site has so many awesome people on it but this absolutely is hands down the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I just wanted to let you all know if you didn't know already what kind of guy Whomp is. I will never forget this as long as I live and it definately made an impact on me. Whomper is the definition of "selfless". So thanks again Whomp! You made my day. You made my week. You made my year. And hopefully I'll get a chance to meet you in person. And in the future if there's anything I can do for you, I'll be there in a flash. Thank you bro, from the bottom of my heart. Jax P.S.- I hope, Whomp, that you're not upset with me for posting this. I simply couldn't let this deed go unnoticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck." the rest of the note said: "All I ask is that you post this story on the Huddle and mention numerous times how great I am. Also, don't quote this part of the note." just kidding, whomp.
