Fun smashing a guitar
I had a no name guitar that had a big crack and was not worth fixing so I thought to myself "Hmmmm Why not?" I wanted to see what the Hendrix - Garth Brooks antics were all about so I just swung it and smashed to pieces against a brick wall and on the concrete driveway. I didn't have any lighter fluid so that was about it but I have to admit it did get the adrenaline going. It's just liberating to, after being so careful all the time babying our instruments, do just the opposite.
Any similar experiences? |

"Perfectly good" is debatable.... but as JH says:

I've smashed a couple of prototypes that were never meant for public consumption. If nothing else, it gives one a good idea of just how tough even a lightly built guitar is. I started by hammering the top with my fist and the first hard blow barely popped a brace. It took 3 or 4 very hard blows to do serious damage.

I thought I heard the story that after a while it got tough for Pete Townshend to buy a guitar. Some of the shop owners knew what he was going to end up doing to the guitar so they wouldn't sell him one.
If I had an old piece of junk that didn't play worth a darned, I'd smash it just to know what it feels like. |
