As a felon I cannot legally bring a gun to my shows so I'd like see how I could utilize my guitar as a weapon for self defense and possibly offense as well. As an acoustic player I dont think something like Gene Simmons axe bass would work. So far I've found this beauty which looks like it would be capable of sending a biker to the dentist, the ER, or back to his mama: https://www.uncommongoods.com/produc...-travel-guitar
Any other good suggestions? Thank you in advance. |
Two points:
1 - I don't see why you think there's going to be a problem. I played in a Mongol bar for years and was never hassled.
Ever. In fact, on the two occasions when a fight did break out, two of the Mongols got me and my guitar out of there and off to safety.
2 - No biker is going to back down because he's gotta' go to the dentist. He's gonna' handle his business. All you'll do is succeed in pissing him off, and I suspect that wouldn't end well for you. And, remember, he's got his biker friends there. You don't.
My advice is don't worry about it...
