wakka102 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 So I'm playing guitar. I mastered the guitar spin a couple of days ago and was fooling around with it. I have strap locks so I thought no need to worry. I do a couple of spins, no problem. Then I do one and somehow my straplock pops off, sending my 700$ Jackson into the wall. I have a dent in the wall and a crack at the top of my fretboard. Hopefully the repair costs won't be too much. The nut came completely loose to where I was able to remove it. I tried to reattach it with modeling glue but that didn't work. The fretboard just before the nut cracked on the bottom so it is slightly raised, causing 2 of my strings to rattle on metal parts when you strum it. I have no idea how much it will cost me to repair it but i sure learned my lesson about guitar spins. I feel like such a [wagon] right now, can anybody give me some info on how much you think repairs for that would cost? NEVER DO GUITAR SPINS!!!

goldphishies Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Good luck with repairs. I have a buddy who did this... during a show. Skidded across the stage. Atleast you didn't do it in public, eh?

wakka102 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 ok, so i took it to the shop and the guy looks at it and says its fine. So i adjusted the bridge a little and he adjusted the rod a bit and it works fine now. Only came off with a some slightly chipped paint in unnoticeable spots. I'm happy now :D Good luck with repairs. I have a buddy who did this... during a show. Skidded across the stage. Atleast you didn't do it in public, eh?Actually i would have rather have done that. If I'm going to lose a 700$ guitar I might as well get some cheers or laughs from it :P . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably just pump people up even more and get some cheers in Metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragen Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I've never done that but I have forgotten to zip up my bag. The guitar fell out, hit the pavement, bounced about a foot and slipped into the road. Luckily it was late at night and no-one was driving about. Scratched the body and snapped out the pick-up switcher but got it all fixed and sorted. Were you using plastic straplocks by any chance? I've got a pair and they are useless, popping off at random intervals. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar!

warri0r45 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 RRRRRRRRRRGGGGG. I'm gritting my teeth right now. :ohnoes: Sorry to hear that mate, I'd cry if I did that to my Ibanez. :cry: As for doing guitar spins, I'd never do them. Firstly, I'm not that coordinated and am more of a perfectionist. I saw I Killed The Prom Queen do them live and I was like :shock: ... you guys are crazy. I hope all goes well with repairs.

dread_rasta Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Now why would you train guitar spinning instead of playing the instrument!? I certainly wouldn't even dream of spinning any of my guitars. The cheapest one costed me 'bout 1300$ (it was a bit less than 1000ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì if my memory serves). And yet to talk about the sentimental value :ohnoes: Don't worry, the chipped paint just makes it look more worn, which would cost a lot more if they did it at the jackson factories. :lol: Nodding DuckRange: 71/80|Strenght:70/70 |Currently starting at members| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
