Thursday, March 13, 2003 My Poor Guitar How shall I start this story... Ben Rickert came over this morning so we could get some rehearsing done; he's going to record some background vocals on the-cd-that's-taking-forever-to-finish tomorrow afternoon. We pulled out my guitar, a beautiful Tacoma Chief, and he was tuning it when all of a sudden he noticed that the bridge was coming off. Yikes! So we de-tuned it and borrowed one of my roommates' guitars for practice. I brought the guitar to Herb David Guitar Studio and discovered that not only is the bridge coming off, the entire face is cracked through and will probably cost $700 in repairs if Tacoma won't fix it under the warranty. And they're about the only people who can, since the design is so unusual. Their guess was that the air was too dry and it cracked... and to think, it was perfectly fine just a couple of days ago. So if things don't work out it looks like I'll have to buy a new guitar, since if it really will cost $700 to fix a new one is only a couple hundred more. But where am I going to get the money? I guess the moral of the story is buy a humidifer, lest your instrument fall apart at the seams. ^ Top | 1:26 PM | | |
