i wudnt put any scratches or anything on my g and L in particular cos it is my baby and its worth alot more than i paid for it so i still look after it well but its going to get scratches and dings sooner or later cos i play so much and do som much gigging, recording and stuff that usually leads to guitars getting smacked around so im not too bothered bout it getting beat up.

anyone ever smashed a guitar? our bass player had one of those little encore beginner guitars that he traded to our old singer for 2 cans of coke cos it was broke and he didnt play the guitar anymore anyways. so my mates got it and is smashing it sideways (as in along the edge of the body) against a shop wall (much to the annoyance of the shop owner as u can imagine) so hes sitting here wondering y his guitar wont break then a girl he was kind aseeing at the time walks by so he goes over to "talk" to her and asks me to hold and it says "don't break it ill be back ina minute" and im like aye right WHACK smashed it face first off the ground into pieces.
