Destroyed Martin DC16RGTE
My daughter decided to have a party when my wife and I were away. A text/social media string ensued and the attendence got out of control to the point where strange kids trashed my house. The worst damage was to my Martin DC16. It was smashed to bits. For a guitar builder there may, however be some parts that would be valuable.
The neck is in decent condition The headstock has a crack. The tuning machines are in tact. It was an older guitar so it still has an ebony fingerboard which is intact. There is a fishman preamp. The pickup below the bridge however is damaged. The top is mostly intact. The back and sides are solid rosewood. The back is split along the grain but I have all of the pieces. Any interest?

I've made a claim on my insurance and have replaced the guitar. I contacted an authorized repair shop and CF Martin. Both told me that repairing the guitar would cost significantly more than the value and at the end of the day it would be a pieced together guitar. I will part it out if anyone is interested in pieces.

Reminds me of same raging parties we used to have in the 80's which resulted in broken doors and holes in the walls. But intentionally destroying someone's guitar is beyond uncool. Find the kids who did it and make them pay for it or work off the debt.
