No, I don't think so. I have a Schecter Cloud Guitar the guitar Prince plays & my girlfriend got mad & broke it in Feb. 07'. The neck just completely snapped, a $2300 loss. But wait a minute, at work I figured get some Gorrila Glue & use the strings that were already on there 2 hold the tension some what. I glued it & clamped the neck back in postion as if good as new. The next problem was the glue had kinda oozed out the sides of the fracture so I began sanding the excess glue back 2 an even texture. So once that process started I figured 2 just re-paint the whole axe all over again. So I ordered inlays that were exact replicas of the symbol Prince once called his name. The guiat was then taken 2 a auto body shop that had just did awesome body work on my car. They used BMW black auto paint & coated it with around 22 coats. It dried 4 a day b4 I went back & put the custom inlays on it & then it was lacquerd. It came out very nice & I also installed a brass nut 2 add more sustain. Although it's not my favorite axe as far as tone goes I still love it 2 death. I am also building my own Cloud Guitar right now as we speak.
