My preferred method is to just not say anything and hope my wife doesn't, too. I did prime her recently by telling her that I plan to gather a "collection" over the next number of years. I have the strat and the ES-335 I've always coveted, but there's so much more. A high end PRS, a Les Paul, an ES-175, a tele, etc, etc. I figure if I buy one every time I get a bonus, then it'll be hard to be pissed off, since it'll still be a pretty big bolus of money.

Edit: But yes, let's talk. Wish we did more anyway.

My wife and I have an agreement on musical equipment.

She looks at me and says, "Did you put us in financial peril?"

If I can say "No", then she's ok with it. (She's a keeper.)
