Tony's Music Box Halloween Guitar Smash-a-thon
The Halloween Guitar Smash-a-thon held by our local independent music store, Tony's Music Box.
Now you know why we patronize this place.
Lessons learned: Acoustic guitars smash very satisfyingly. Hard-bodies, on the other hand, tend to be weapons of amp destruction.
Unless you're smashing them against a brick wall. Then they smash real good.

I dunno . . . that makes me kind of sad. Unless the guitars are somehow completely unplayable, smashing them up seems a bit like tearing up books to me. Like if you don't want them, give 'em to someone who could really appreciate them. Nothing against Tony's Music Box, I never liked it when Pete Townsend did it either.
On the other hand, one of the cooler art projects I witnessed was a piano being smashed with sledge hammers and then set on fire, so I guess I'm just a big fat hypocrite.
"...a piano being smashed with sledge hammers and then set on fire..."
Do you have video???
I assume all the guitars involved were far past playable conditon... Tony's respects instruments. But I will check in w/Husband and report.
I was in college. I don't think video existed yet--at least not the kind everyone carried around everywhere.
well....i'm with mr. fies. in fact, they looked purfeckly good to me. but what do i know? i am completely unmusical, though i long to play the violin. go figure.
