Oh dear has anyone got any glue?

[Mikecg]

I think it's beyond repair? nevermind PRS and the insurance company said no. what do ya think?

[AllforNun]

set it alight , then ebay it as one of Jimmys, it works i tell thee !

[Mikecg]

HAHA!

Mug Punters all of em eh!

Try flogging it as an early Townsend.

Take it to one of the workshops on Denmark Street. You may find someone willing to give it a go.

I once snapped a Les Paul headstock clean in two and an enterprising Luthier in Jo?burg fixed it good as new.

I never knew you played Brendan? what stuff are you into?

I spoke to a guy I use "guitar services of new malden" the guy there is called Malcolm Miles, he does all my guitar setups and he said it could be done but I was hoping for an insurance job, I'll give it to him to sort out.

I've used Andys of Denmark Street in the past, I love that street but it's very expensive. Vintage and Rare is like heaven for me its guitar porn city. They have a great web site www.vintageandrareguitars.com cooler than cool.

Are you sure it can't be played Mike?

I recall Pete Shelley playing a guitar with half a body in The Buzzcocks early days.

Take the title of the thread and compose a Ramones style pop thrash around it.

Edited because I inexplicably called Pete Shelley Steve.

I'm sure it can be glued together... but it's never gonna be the same, is it (to state the obvious). The sound will certainly be compromised.

if Seasick Steve can do it, so can you... (only 3 strings and a load of gaffer tape)

Mike, Charlies makes an excellent point, you big sissy-mary you.

Seasick Steve(in the style of Monty Python's Four Yorkshiremen): "Guitar wi' a bit a damage t' bottom o' body. Eeeeh when I were travellin' boxcars I used to dream of knowin' someone whose cousin's best friend had a guitar wi' a bit a damage t' bottom o' body. Luxury. Bloody EDFers, don't know they're bloody born"

No point really it's the end for that guitar but hey I've still got my strat.

Seasick is playing what is probably a cigar box guitar with a more guitar style body than a cigar box, I could google but if my memory serves me well these instruments were made during the civil war in America from cigar boxes, there is a subculture of players who love these cheaply made guitars in america today but it's a step too primitive for me. The guitar is primative enough without further diminishing my ability to squeeze a tune out of it so I think I'll give it a miss but thanks CC for reminding me of a facinating adaptation of the greatest instrument in the world.
