LSAR Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Good question. I don't think it should have too much of an effect if it isn't hitting the guitar a lot, though I could see it wearing down the finish in certain spots over a long period of time...

tweed2 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well if it's a vintage SG, maybe playing it with the cast on will relic it. Give it more of a vintage look. I detatched my bicep two years ago and couldn't play for 2 months. I even tried pumping up my pain meds so it wouldn't hurt so much, but then my finger wouldn't work. Very frustrating.

tweed2 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I wish it was some great story, like I had to lift a car off of a baby carriage, or something. I was mountain biking and took a tumble. It didn't hurt too bad, until later that night. I didn't know I'd detached it until I went and sawmy Doctor, the next day. It was all rolled up towards my shoulder. And you? How'd you earn your cast?

jfine Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Les Paul and Mary Ford were driving back to LA after a gig somewhere in the Midwest (Waukesha, Wisconsin, I think) in the late 1940's, and they drove off an ice-covered bridge, wound up in the river. Les's right elbow was shattered in a few places and the doctor thought he might have to amputate. One of the other doctors said, "Hey, this is Les Paul--he's one of the greatest guitarists in the world--we've got to save the arm!" They told Les he'd never be able to move the elbow again, and asked him how he'd like it positioned--he said, "Point my wrist at my navel so I can play the guitar!" It took him about a year and a half to recover, but before he was out of the cast, he was cutting hit records with the guitar lying flat and his right arm in a cast, with the elbow immobile and the wrist mostly immobile. Now that's dedication! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
