Great slo-mo at the end. Usually I feel bad if something happens to a guitar while out and about. But not this time....

Thankfully nobody got hurt. I was waiting for somebody to get whacked in the head with a swinging guitar... I've seen that few times.

Wow. Gotta love the energy though. Energy over tone. I bought an ibby ergodyne bass cheap because of that exact same thing. Its perfectly usable but the whole corner by the controls is just shattered. And that luthite smells like gasoline. My kid just took my nice kawaii bass so I guess I'm back on this one. Thats a show no one will forget :)

@2:02

Bystander: "It should be fix-able, right?"
Guy holding broken guitar: "No, this is not fix-able."
Me: "Ummmm, I'll take it if you don't want it, because I think I can fix that."

I had an acquaintance fill-in for the other guitar player in a band I was in, for a couple of gigs. He was notorious for guitar spins and was so out to impress us first night.

His guitar got stuck in the drop ceiling of the bar. He was 6'4" and the ceiling was 8'. There was horror on his face as we tried to hold back laughing.

Luckily, I fixed the ceiling the next day and there was no damage to the guitar. Mucho funny, though!

I'm not sure it was the pins. It may have been the strap. Was it homemade? Looks a lot like duct tape...

Either way, Well Hung would have prevented that disaster.

Well-Hung strap and pro-pins would likely have prevented that, but the 100% guaranteed solution is to not swing your guitar like a douchebag.

I was thinking that the band's name was appropriate (Still Waiting) at 1:15. Is music like baseball? If a guitarist fouls a guitar into the audience does the retriever get to keep it?

I have never tried to spin a guitar but if I did it would have strap locks ,
