Nope. But congrats, you got your first battle damage!
There ARE guitar painting services, but they are expensive and some might not do a good job. I'm sure some of our forum members can point you out to a good one.

But be brave....... check for major dents and more importantly, cracks. If there are cracks on the neck, it's usually VERY bad. But the major damage from a fallen guitar, are usually the neck area, so hold your breath, and check that area properly. If it's bad, you gotta send it to a luthier. Tham is highly recommended, but must know the extend of the damage....... and remember, they can cost alot.

But in all seriousness, very sorry for your guitar. Make SURE you get your "friend" to pay for the damages to make them know your serous and very PO'ed about the incident.

it was a concert day which every class has to perform. but the concert ended up a disaster cause the stupid student who control the volumes made a serious mistake. at the begining, the volume was loud, and we singing girlfriend(arvil lanvinge) and he lowered the volume until i cannot hear any music. so we were lost on stage, i holding the guitar, donno wat to do. we were suppose to win. but...........

Anyway,after 10mins, my friend accidentally dropped my guitar. i donno why he took it the first place. my brain went blank for that second. hearing the smash sound on the floor. it juz couldnt accept it,i look at it awhile,and zip it up in the bag. i ended up crying at home.

well thats the full story,

if i were just to do a spray job only,how much will it cost?
and is it possible to spray onli at 1 area or i gotta respray the whole thing?

Use water color to repaint, its cheaper.

else just ask your friend to pay half of the expenses to repaint it lor.

get a sticker with your name on it and cover up the "imperfectness" to make it looks less "imperfect"...

I think its more better and cheaper if u put sticker (Unless something is broken inside). Tell your friend to buy the sticker for you. I'm not sure if you can blame your friend, because it might have just been an accident he never thought could happen, if he is not a guitar player, most likely he would not know how to take care of a guitar and place the guitar in a way so that it wouldn't fall. But if he took your guitar without permission, for the fun of it, without permission, and he's a guitar player then he must be responsible for it. At least pay half for the recovery.

well,his not a guitar player. my head already want to Blow liao.
I watch the process of the guitar falling in front of my eye.

i would take to the shop first and see how lo.
if too expensive i think i go with sticker.

(and is it possible that the inside of the guitar is damage???(drop from chair)

Ya...  let it be man...  you should learn how curt cobain, Yngwie Malsteen smash and burnt their guitars on stage...  be a hardcore player..  the more scar, the more you'll become guitar expert..  next you can try to play with teeth and bytes all those rusty strings...

I remember once I accidentally dropped my friend's MIM Telecaster and part of the wood chipped lol. He sent it to a luthier his dad happened to know and it was fixed (For a fee though, rm200+ iirc?). If it's just a ding/crack on the guitar, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Either way, stop talking to your friend. He'ill feel guilty in a week's time and voila, NEW GUITAR! xD

lol.if life was so good.i dont think he will buy a new one=.=

Pour water on your pickups,damage it and tell your friend it's from the shock your guitar had.Tell him it can't be saved and demand for a compensation

haha.good idea.but im not that cruel la.what goes round comes round


Added on October 25, 2007, 10:41 pmis rm200 enough to make a full body spray????
