Not sure what he was really. He had this amazing ability to put dents in things. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Another time, mid-rehearsal, I was standing close to the drumkit - and he decided to knock his drumstick over my guitar neck to start off a song. The marks are still visible. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
Again, good thing it was that same Vantage beater it happened to, or fists would've been flying! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
He immediately realized what he had done though, and was totally mortified over it, saying; "DAMN! I really REALLY didn't mean to do that!" [put the dings in the neck] At that point I was just laughing though. It was just like him.

And Chris, I would be interested in knowing which vaccuum you use that has such wonderful suck capabilities. My vaccuum cleaner does not suck nearly as well as yours.

Re: Stupid guitar mistakes

When my mate first bought an explorer he was sat in a chair, by a wall, turned round too quickly and chipped the headstock, quickly turned around the other way and chipped the corner of the body!

Also, my brother rammed the headstock of a new Charvel Bass into Ian's wall by accident and took a chunk out of the wall!

Re: Stupid guitar mistakes

I was in a hurry for a lesson one day, but I wanted to warm up before I left. After I was done warming up, I was in a hurry to go, so I lifed the guitar fast over my head, but the strap acted like a bungee cord and whipped the guitar back in to my face, specifically the corner of my eyebrow. Blood everywhere. It ended up taking 5 stitches to close it.
I missed practice and had a hard time explaining to the doctor how it happened.

One of them guitarded moments. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Stupid guitar mistakes

Got into a fight with the girlfriend, My 3 month old American BC Rich Warlock on the stand behind me. Argued for a while, she got pissed and threw my keys at me and walked out. Went looking for my keys a couple minutes after only to find one of the keys stuck in the face of the body like a dart! it was a bad day!

Re: Stupid guitar mistakes

When I was 16, I played in a garage band. We were practicing, and I got tangled up in my chord. Between songs, I unplugged the chord from the amp and the guitar, grabbed it by one end and gave it a flick of the wrist like it was a bullwhip. It straightened out, but the 1/4-inch jack at the other end turned toward me like it had a life of its own. I was paralyzed, watching it head for my yam sack in slow motion. It grazed the very bottom of on of my nuts...for a moment, I felt smug because it seemed it didn't get enough to do much. A split-second later, I was writhing on the ground. Metal objects + Goolies = Pain.

My other Stupid Guitar Mistake was selling a beautiful white Model 2 to my idiot friend who now isn't playing it, has it stashed in the garage (in Arizona, that means it probably bakes at 120 degrees every day) and refuses to sell it back to me.

Re: Stupid guitar mistakes

Did it last night. My Lakland bass has an active Bartolini preamp, with a Fishman battery holder. You know the drop-in kind. Last night, I replaced the battery. Well, unbeknownst to me, I put the battery in backwards. So, I plug in, and get no sound. I'm fiddling with my cable, and all of a sudden, I ask myself... "What's that smell?" That sickening, burning electronics smell. Ugh. So, now I have to bring that over to the guy who does repair work for me, because I just don't want to deal with it.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] this thread is just awesome!!

I second the drummer-thing. never give these guys guitars, they can't handle it.
he just was supposed to help me carry my stuff into rehearsal room, he had only the guitar (since I didn't want to mess it up carrying all the other stuff), and hit the wall twice. didn't manage to do that in years before, and he did it twice within 5 mins!!
no real damage, but he won't get another of my guitars again. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]


another thing is, I had my strap twisted on the wing side of my rhoads, and it just slipped out of the strap and fell down before I was able to react. I was really stupid looking I think, but I always took care to havge it right since that day... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I have carpet everywhere, but the long wing just hit this tiny place on my floor where my footswitch was standing. some glue fixed it though.


the funniest thing I've seen was a gig where the singer was doing some headbanging and got twisted with her hair in the guitarplayers headstock.
she had to follow him all over the stage, but she kept the show going for the rest of the song. respect!
