I don't know, but those "premature" NGDs sure are exciting waypoints. I am totally sympathetic to those who cannot contain their excitement at, say, winning a bid on ebay for example. Or just "pulling the trigger."

What is NOT a NGD is this beauty I bought over 5 years ago, and she's STILL on honeymoon!

Not really. But it amuses me. Maybe we just need a new acronym. How about ANGD. Almost new guitar day.

I bet the guys who post those ‘NGC’ (New Guitar Coming) posts were once the kids in the back seat of their parents’ cars asking, “Are we there yet?” the whole journey!

Maybe we could use a three tiered system:

TANG – Thinking About a New Guitar
BANG – Bought A New Guitar
PANG – Playing A New Guitar

Did you forget your morning coffee or something?

I think people just get excited.

Should I update my Incoming NGD thread with current Fedex tracking info? I'm getting more excited every day.

I’ve sent back a few to many guitars to post a NGD. It sometimes turns out to be a NNGD - no new guitar day.

These days I’m all about NGD - No GAS day ...for now

Who cares? People who are excited about guitars is what this forum is about. I’m fine with them expressing that excitement anyway they want.
