Special thanks to my brother for the concept, because without his guitar knowledge, I would be at a complete loss for words This story is the first in what will hopefully be a long chain of good times. Comments and constructive criticism is always welcome..
"You're a true beauty, my dear," Mike cooed as he stroked the slender neck of his latest love. Mike had always worked at the music exchange for as long as he was able to hold down even a part-time job. He had a passion for music, in sort of the same way that some men have a passion for power tools (Only those men probably never dreamt about their compound miter saw in a sweaty sleep).
The only misgiving that Mike had ever felt about his many loves were that they could never love him back. Sure, they could put out melodious or even tortured sounds when he worked them over, but they were inanimate. Yes. Mike Nimitz truly loved his guitars. Especially in his imagination.
On one severely boring night in particular, Mike found himself alone, as usual, in the darkened shop, stocking the walls with new guitars. The slender neck that he had been preoccupied with belonged to the first of the new mainstream models.
The shop had stocked only cheap-o knock off models for as long as he could remember, and Mike hoped that the new influx of guitars would bring in customers. As it was, the shop was always a ghost town, which left Mike free to fantasize about what might be lurking inside the fine mahoganies and basswood bodies.
"Shit, this thing is an artifact! A Gibson Goldtop Les Paul Classic, with...a fifties neck!"
Mike began to get a heady feeling in the air, realizing just how spectacular this piece of art was. This thing was made before he was born, but he felt such a connection with it, and was so enamored, that he failed to notice when the heady air zoned him out into his imagination...
Mike awoke with a start and off his stool, relieved that he was still in the guitar shop. But, something was amiss.
"Hammett's Left Hand! The Guitar," Mike screamed. He looked around the area, expecting (but dreading) to find it in splinters on the floor. "But how? It's vanished," Mike asked no one in particular. But, to his surprise, someone did answer. And, in one of the sweetest and sultriest voices he had ever heard:
"Whaddaya mean, kid? I'm right here."
Her voice was dark and rich, and seemed to reverberate forever inside Mike's head. It made him freeze in his tracks. After finding what shred of courage he hadn't just lost, he turned to find a stunning blonde woman of about 35 years standing solidly next to his abandoned stool, wearing a rather small, golden sun dress.
"Oh, thank God," Mike sighed, "Did you catch the Goldtop? I was just sitting right..." letting his voice trail off uselessly as the woman advanced on him, swinging her full breasts and ass in a rhythmic dance. Mike was entranced as she came way inside his personal space (not that he minded terribly, this would be the first woman to show any interest in him since his college days).
"Why are you so worried? I'm very much intact, check me out if you like," she teased, as she abruptly backed up and sat, no, posed on the stool, causing Mike to nearly fall over in his effort to follow her.
"You expect me to believe that guitars can turn into women? I mean, I know guitars are beautiful, but this is ridiculous," rambled Mike, as he slumped down into another chair, and probably insanity.
It was at this point that Mike's mind shifted from worry to his natural instincts. From his oblique angle, Mike could see her curves in full relief. Her ass was pushed up by the hard wood of the stool, and her arms closed the cavernous cleavage between her (at least) D cup breasts. "But, what the hell," Mike said, playing along with his sexy psychosis, "if this is insanity, I guess it's not so bad, eh? What's your name, gorgeous," he asked with a flick of an eyebrow.
"Paula," she answered, returning his eyebrow flick with one of her own, "But, do you want to bullshit all night, or do you want to try out the merchandise," she quizzed, stretching out said merchandise. Mike could only stare, as any one of us would, at the most full and curvaceous body he had ever seen. The small dress left little to the imagination, allowing him to examine her with the scrutiny of a merchant.
