Has anyone ever trashed an EBMM guitar on stage?

Just so ya'll know That cat lives in Halifax about 2 hours from me and has been fighting for over a year to get his guitar fixed ...and since the video United airlines have called him and it was shown on CNN hahahaha he Played with a great band called Sons of Maxwell

Yeah, it's a great story about the little guy using the power of song to overcome the BS of a big corporation. I believe Taylor also gave him a new guitar because of it. United was the worst domestic airline I ever flew on out of a lot, so I can't say I'm sad he's hurting their rep

Going by car would have been his only option. All airlines and airports are the same - they all suck. They think that all they have to do is put up a stupid little sign that says they're not liable, and that gives them a legal right to steal or destroy anything they want. Having been a victim too (although not a guitar), I can feel his pain. It's one of the reasons my guitars will NEVER travel with me by plane.

Never seen it, and I personally never would. If I'm ever considering trashing a guitar, I'll give it to someone instead.

EB's value/quality is to much to smash...... wana smash something get a Squier... haha

Smashing guitars is so wasteful... you know somewhere out there there's a little kid who'd love nothing more to get his hands on ANY guitar and then people go and smash them like it ain't no thing. Wasteful and selfish.

Its been done to death. It was shocking when Townshend did it, not any more.

Not a big fan of destroying instruments. If I ever have to opportunity to destroy an instrument I will give it away instead. There are kids (other musicians too) that will be grateful to have a guitar whether the quality is good or not.

My 2 cents

Exactly, it's like a woman trying to be shocking by wearing pants.

I am always happy to add another EBMM to my collection. I would never trash any of them onstage...ever. If any of the forumites reading this post have tendencies towards doing such a thing, please send your EBMM to me and I will, in turn, supply you with another guitar to trash onstage.

End of story.

Operators are standing by....
