Yeah, I knew something was going to go wrong before bringing my guitar to school for practice. (acoustic guitar)

The stupid strap came out and the guitar dropped on a hard concrete floor with the sound hole facing the floor.

There is a minor crack on the finishing on the front of the guitar which is okay, i dont mind... but there's two cracks at the back of the neck near the headstock that that runs from the middle (not really, bout 4 inches frm the headstock) up to the edge of the nut. And then u can move the nut, but i put it back in position and now it wont move..

Guitar still sounds the same, the low E string is buzzing slightly but i think its because i just put on new strings.. It isn't running out of tune so it's still good.

Do you think I need to see a guitar luthier for this?

Thanks in advanced,
Nullify.

thats why...walk around with the guitar behind ur back think u jon bon jovi?

but if your tuning doesnt run, then i guess its ok.

my friend drop my electric guitar!
WHo lagi worst?!

acoustic. wood damage can affect it more than it affects an electric

but saying:"droping electric guitar" and "droping accoustic"|


electric sounds more painful ma

get a guitar case next time.. and good luck for your current guitar...

how long have you been playing the guitar?

you're sounding like someone who just started, and thinks that electric guitar is superior to all the rest.

no offense

that guitar buy 2 weeks nia and my friend drop it=.=
thats why its more pain

it's about the price. can u imagine RM1000++ plus it's only 2weeks old compared to below RM500 acoustic guitar... for not rich guy like me, it's very painful like what ongpohheng felt . unless the acoustic guitar cost RM2k++ then it's the other way round

Actually, an Acoustic guitar dropping will probably be more damaging in the long run then an electric.

But please, post some pictures to see how bad and then we can give a proper evaluation of the damage.

no valuation, so price is out of the equation in my statement

ya post some pics!!
And tell us the price of ur guitar!

If ur guitar cheap cheap de,then i guess no point,cause the repair fees might pass the cost of guitar.

true and thats the same for ur electric too.

well it was about almost RM1.5k, will get picts tomorrow cuz now night - too dark edi..

and NO i did not walk like bon jovi with the guitar on my back, it was right in front of me, and while i was talking to the teacher, it snapped and dropped real quickly..

i guess it teaches us a lesson to get a good strap next time..
I was given a free ernie ball strap when i bought my guitar, after using it a few time, i decided not to use it until i get a strap lock of some kind.. coz the end started to soften.. and the hole starts to get loose after getting on and off the strap butt (*no dirty thoughts please )

After all how much is the dunlop plastic strap lock cost..?? only rm2 - 3 each... that or paying few hundred for a repaint..

oh no! that's really painful!

wow:omg:
Serious pain. u are not alone dude. you are not alone.....

So I finally got some pictures - so do you think it's bad; is it internal?

damn.. that is bad... crack like that on the neck

Have you unstrung the guitar.. see if the neck si still sturdy enuff

oommmg........

that looks like a simple crack.
the strings are obviously preventing it from opening up.
i guess you havent removed the strings yet...so no idea how badly its cracked.
just bring it to someone to put some glue in there, preferably someone NOT from mahogany or bentley or guitar collection.

ok, that looks terrible.

Send it to Tham........ ASAP!!!

pls la...thats not terrible or omg that looks very bad...

THIS is OMGWTFBBQ terrible...

LOL> is that ur guitar?

nope
just some guitar lots of SG fans are looking at cos its in a desirable finish...ebony stain.

WOW...... that's definitely worse. Now, I can't complain about my little crack on my ZW's control knobs......

that one kayu reput oredi?

its a gibson.
someone will fix it.

if its a copy, they will just throw it away

btw, its now at USD200 with 5 bids and 3.5 days left.
the things ppl do for a gibson

hahahah thanks guys for the opinions, atm i tuned my strings one semitone down frm standard tuning and i have the capo on the first fret HAHAH

it works like a charm

wow even guitars suffer from gangrene

gangrene?

i don't think i should post pics of gangrene here lol this isnt b
erm basically limbs falling off due to tissue deterioration/degeneration
kinda like frostbite minus the freezing part

LOL what happened to the Gibson? The owner must be on drugs...sighz

Better send your guitar for a check up or a fix as the weather in Malaysia can caused serious harm to it months or years to come...

omg!! it looks rotten... I dropped my guitar almost everyday.. i dono how many times i dropped my guitar... It's really miracle it survived from me.. since there's only some minor scratches,
But it's okay since its cheap local made.... but I can feel your pain
