Topaz is my Martin GPCX2AE guitar which came back from gettin' fixed today and sounds UNBELIEVABLE! She's been outta commission for a couple months now and I've finally been able to get her set up and all the frets evened out n such. Guitar sounds freakin' great. Hear for yourself!
Also Topaz is my birthstone, and if you're into crystals and gemstones n such, here's some Googlin' about its magical properties:
Topaz soothes, heals, stimulates, recharges, re-motivates and aligns the meridians of the body – directing energy to where it is needed most. It promotes truth and forgiveness. Topaz brings joy, generosity, abundance and good health. It is known as a stone of love and good fortune.

Topaz is my magic gem that I store all my powers in.
Used to stash em in a Jade, but you know Jade don't make the grade.
Topaz taught me all I know about how to live alone
and when I'm feelin' low, I give Topaz room to glow cause, ya know

Rice tastes good with soy sauce.
2 - 3 = 9 sometimes
You can't be deceived unless you first seek to believe,
so mind your business, don't be fooled. Unlearn all you learned in school, except how to learn.
Then get yourself a Topaz
[VERSE]
Topaz is my magic wand for when all my love is gone.
Find some music deep inside, when the money starts to hide.
Topaz gives me what I need, she's my faithful wooden steed
makin' magic wooden tones, with the soul of pirate bones.

That guitar does sound great, but I reckon you'd make a plywood plank with some barbed wire sound great. Really sweet playing there. Great vocals too. Nice, jazzy bluesy piece with a really cool rhythm and melody. That Simpsons theme in the end is a nice touch and with the Gracie Films theme too! When I was a young boy I knew a dog named Topaz and he was a really good dog.

Mmmmhmmm good. This is great. Listening to it reminds me of the way I love listening to Hell on Church Street Blues and lots of other songs that are hovering around the corners of my mind now. That confident stringing together of sentences over superb guitar playing. Like getting to see the inside of someone else's mind. Move over James Joyce. Stream of Consciousness is back from the shop and all tuned up and ready to roar.

The guitar sounds awesome - but I reckon the player has something to do with that too. ;-)
This is a great song. Lots of movement and wonderful lyrics.
And my own magic gem is obsidian, but I'm getting the urge for a topaz now...

Love the love for your guitar. Does indeed sound great, rich and groovy. Hmmm I think some Chinese food sounds good tonight....
