Ever had an unfortunate accident with your guitar

As I read it, it says, Acoustic Electric Bass. If one uses punctuation, it would say, " ACOUSTIC,

ELECTRIC,

BASS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

In other words, it will work for all the above.

Holy Cow, Batman! Your signature just came true. Adrian bought. . . does anybody know? Custom hovering machine?
 
I have never dropped a guitar. Strap slip yes but I caught it. Some one knocked over my guitar but no damage.

I’ll share one....poorly, I’m sure...

As a kid, I was playing my first reasonably cool(for the time) electric guitar during a hurricane. The power failed. I leaned the guitar against my amp, and stood up to get the case for it. A strong gust of wind took down a 70+ year old fur tree that stood about 50 feet from the house...fortunately in a direction away from the house. The three foot wide trunk splitting noise, and subsequent crash to the ground, freaked my cat(Bubba) out. He jumped up on my amp, and my guitar face planted. The result was a dreaded headstock crack. I had it repaired....twice...by a reputable guitar/bass manufacturer local to me at the time. It never really held though...not for more than a couple of weeks...I gave up, and saved up for my Strat that is hanging in my living room now.

The end.

Edit: oops! The guitar/victim in this story was a 1984-5 BC Rich NJ series Japanese made Warlock.

Rocked You Like A Hurricane!

No doubt the Strat/Tele is the most durable. I handle my Doublneck like a vase from Pharaoh's tomb...but one I strap in - its on!
 
I sure had an unfortunate accident with my Gibson SG Special about almost 20 years ago. It was leaning against the wall and fell down breaking the neck near the nut. I believe alcohol was involved that night. I took it to my local guitar store the next day to get it fixed professionally. It took a month to fix and a cool $200 for the repair work. The guy did a good job and used fibre-glass reinforcement from the head-stock to about the 3rd or 4th fret. The neck now feels stronger and she still plays well to this day. My SG has a few battle scars like dropping it in the parking lot one night at a Halloween party scraping the bevelled edge on the body and breaking some of the tuning machines & also chipping off a bit on the backside of the head-stock. I have Grovers on my SG now which work simply great!:)
