Batfink Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Well, you could never accuse the Japanese of not thinking out of the box - the main question is though, what were these people thinking Nice score Wez, i'll have to trail that around a few people i know - should upset one or two of the purist's !

WezV Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 this is what got me, they are clearly sold as but the spec page says: "it is not created for the pupose of smashing" (loving the snipping tool on windows 7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmth Builder Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 One of the dumbest things I have ever read... I also loled at the disclaimers, 'person that will smash the guitar will need to wear eye protection gear, gloves and a helmet for their own safety', yeah thats really rock n roll... lol The worst thing is the price, 5000 Japanese yen = 36.3 British pounds Its cheap enough that people might actually buy this complete waste of the worlds resources!

chops1983 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I love how you can send back the old smashed parts to get a new custom built guitar to smash. At an additional cost mind you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mender Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Not really a new idea, is it? Jimmi Hendrix kept all the broken bits of the few guitars he smashed. These bits were then fastened together to be used in future gigs. He would go off stage just before the end of his act and put his good guitar down, and pick up one that had been roughly put together out of bits. Then back on the stage to finish the last number before destroying the bits'n'pieces guitar. The bits would be kept again ready for "recycling". So, you could say Hendrix created the first guitars made for smashing. I don't know how many good guitars he smashed, but I believe it was very few.

Mender Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 what did he do with the ones he set on fire ? : ) They were probably disposed of. The ones he set on fire were in pretty poor condition, I think right at the end of their recycling life. I was a coach driver from 1968 onwards, and on three occasions I drove people up to London to see Hendrix perform. Coach drivers usually watched the shows from the wings backstage (always free admittance, drivers' perks), and I've seen the broken guitar parts being assembled into something just about playable, and Hendrix dashing in to swap guitar just before the end of the set. Of course, as a coach driver, I could never stay long enough to see what happened to the burnt guitars as I had to get back to the coach ready for the passengers.
