We’ve all seen iconic gear abuse. Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire, Paul Stanley busting up prop guitars, Richie Blackmore destroying a guitar on a TV camera, or Pete Townsend smashing guitars, amps, drums, stands, microphones, monitors, really anything in sight.
Of course this is the extreme. Obviously scratches and dents can happen through normal playwear and tear. Belt buckle rash, hand and arm friction on the body and neck, getting knocked by an instrument cable, stand rash, sun bleaching, luthier mishaps, pick and nail scratches…
But what are some war scars that we have seen on our own gear? Any good stories? How do we feel about used gear? Is it okay to buy relic’d? Should you repair a ding? How much does the value drop? And is it okay to break gear on purpose?
Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Lloyd, on the Tweed Couch.
