It's not about his guitar! In VH1 Storytellers, Rob himself says:
"It wasn't going to be on the record. I wrote it over the break (before Mad Season), right when I met my wife. And it was kinda this situation where she had- we had met, and it was good, it was big. It was strong. It was all gonna happen. And she all of the sudden had this revelation, that she was dating a musician, and it scared the hell out of her. She was like "I don't wanna marry a musician, that's not gonna work..." And so I wrote this song as kind of like a letter to her."
