Ouch!!!

Rob, when Rebecca found these photos of your dinged BFR Luke, I nearly said a very very bad word. Man, that must have been depressing. My commiserations.

That said...

Rob, I feel for you brother. Having said that, your attitude is always amazing. Keep that positive vibe up I may need it someday...

...I'm with Colin and Dizzy et al. You can teach us all a lot about perspective and what's *really* of value in life!

i know i know, i did it on the day I got it, matter of hours. I'm am the king tool of the universe. Its on the upper back/side of the Luke, the top isnt affected.

here's a pic, ive been too upset to post the pics so far, it was terrible when it happened! I'm over it now though, a few days have passed, i guess its mine forever now. "Is this the way its gonna be forever now...." ( for the aussies)

ouch Rob. that's a serious scar. i was gutted when i took a 2mm dink out of my JP but that's much worse.

Absolutely.

My old Roadstar II has *plenty* of dings (though none as bad as your BFR)...and I reckon the Roadstar has more character because it has those battle scars.

my loaded JP6 wasnt seated on its stand properly and fell off when setting up a DI box.... this was when it was less than a week old!! and when it happened everyone around me just stopped what they were doing and looked at me in horror as they knew how much it meant to me... haha.. was a bad feeling at the time, but it did nothing to the guitar itself so i can laugh it off now i think the trem arm took up most of the impact..

Back when I played another brand of guitars. I set the guitar on the stand and it did a headstock dive. Broken headstock. Sold it shortly after, it never felt right after the repair.
