Riffster Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I am pretty sure I have some sort of time record dinging brand new guitars. I am over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The first day I had my SG I hit the headstock on my ceiling and chipped it. It's pretty much covered in scratches and dings now but only one that goes to the bare wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lungimsam Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 After looking hi n low I scored a brand new 1998 (or 1999) black SG Deluxe with Maestro and block inlays. I banged the face of it into my parents' wood couch within minutes. I thought: "Welp, I guess it's mine now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Ahh yeah I jacked up the face of the headstock on my SG too. I changed strings and I was clipping the extra string that was sticking out of the tuners with some dykes and I accidentally dug the dykes into the headstock right on the Gibson logo. It's probably the worst and most noticable damage on my SG but it's not too bad. I'm over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Guess it's the same reason you get a ding on a new car within a few day's of buying it or how you can drive around with a small chip in a windshield on your car for years without anything else happening but get a new windshield and a rock will fly up and chip it again within days of the replacement.

MrNylon Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 My SG Std. bass has come close to a ceiling fan once. I do my playing in a small room so I'm really careful about the fan now. So far I haven't had any dings in her yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The first day I got my Les Paul pro deluxe I dropped a plug onto it and chipped the front. I was gutted. I got it fixed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvinator Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It seems like every time I leave a bass on stage after setting my stuff up, a sound guy will wopp the end of a cord into it; all my basses have mysterious little round dents in wierd places that show up only after a job. I guess I should learn to put 'em away 'til everything's been run on stage. I tried putting a bass in the stand backwards once and presto-changeo - strange little round dents on the back! Oh well - they are "tools" after all, and things happen no matter how careful you are. Kinda makes you wonder who would pay extra $ for a "road-worn" anything!

grampa Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It appears that guitars don't like being pristine. Most of us are proud of our scars and dings so our guitars must be also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Maybe all guitars should be finished in that rubberized coating used for the spray-on truck bed liners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artie Owl Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Just after I got my SG I was dosing in bed, and I had one of those "waking dreams" where you always wake up really fast because something happens, you're not quite asleep but awake either. Anyway I dreamt in the waking dream that I was playing my SG and when I was down I went to rest it on the side of the bed and I smoked the body of the SG on the metal frame and I woke up really fast. It was scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
