Just out of curiosity, who on this message board has ever smashed a guitar?
I did once, and to make matters sound worse it wasn't even my own.
It was an act of revenge on someone I used to share a house with. We'd all been given our marching orders by the letting agency, but had to clean the house, make repairs where needed, clean the carpets, etc, and this guy did absolutely nothing to help. He just buggered off leaving some of his things out in the garage including his crappy acoustic guitar, presumably intending to collect later. Which was where I found it...
I've got some photos somewhere! |

I once filled a crappy nylon string acoustic with concrete to create an inside out guitary sculpture (we were encouraged to experiment and I don't need much encouragement anyway!)
I also trashed an old 'Audition' electric which had been given to me, long story but the guitar came off worst in the end

| Anybody have a Colombus hanging around? i'd gladly stick that through a townsend set. Id play my my 'real' guitar, then quicky grab the POS (Piece of sh*t) and stick it through a shredding machine normaly used for dead branches and shrubs. |

As I think I've mentioned before, that's what Blackmore used to do at gigs. Sneak off for a "Satellite" just before the ritual smash-up. He didn't use a branch-shredder. Maybe if he teams up with Slim Shady...
I'd organized a mult-band gig where the last band on "Keith Moon"ed the drum kit. It wasn't their drum kit. Much chasing of drummer into, eventually, the toilets by the band that was loaning it out to all the performing bands. |

Is that a pentangle or a Clanger? No money for the gig, but all the blue-string-soup you can eat  |
