Last night at band practice..

[VSpaceBoy]

I fucked up my main guitar..

I rearranged my band room yesterday before practice. I use hangers for my guitars instead of stands to save floorspace and with the new arrangement, I have to walk over the cables.

Well after all of one hour, I caught a cable with my foot and ripped my Brian Moore off the wall and it hit squarely on the CONRETE FLOOR!! This smashing in the bottom edge and ripped the bridge almost completely out.

The guitar is a Brian Moore i9 that I guess I'll try taking about today to see if I can refasten the bridge. I'm not sure I'll be able to fix it though so I guess I'll have to take it to a repair shop.

I'll have to play my Godin in the meantime...

You can't really see anything wrong (other than the big dent) that you could fix..

Ouch!

Man that really sucks. Good luck with the repairs.

 

[VSpaceBoy]

Yeap



I dropped it off at the music shop. They said its not something they can fix there and that they'll have to send it off.

I guess they'll call me with an estimite in the next week or so.

 

[Zaphod B]

Ouch. That did leave a mark.

I hope it turns out well.

I thought this was going to be one of those, "this one time, at band camp..." stories.

Commiserations!
Try to do the right thing & @#$% happens.
Perhaps it was meant to be & the thing will come back having become stronger throught the experience.
Fingers crossed for you anyway.
