I did it once in a fit of pique, it was (in my case), childish, irresponsible and an act of outright vandalism.

I am ashamed to this day that I did that to an old and trusted companion.

Beware if you do go down that route, it can haunt you for years - it was 16 years ago and the shame feels like yesterday.

Normally my guitars (now all Martins) get me out of bad moods, not into them.
