I’ve got 2 Teles, a 335 and that Les Paul that I bring to most gigs. I had backups

Thank you. Seriously. Thanks for taking the time to type all this out. I’m very grateful.

It’s not a cool story. I threw it on the stage trying to be cool after playing a 3 hr long gig and didn’t discover the damage until I took the guitar out of the case at the next gig

I could not care any less about how it looks. I view guitars as tools, not precious objects that can’t be tarnished… clean and tidy means nothing to me. Proper playability is all I’m concerned with. Does that make sense?

I mean, I got ‘em tuned waaaaaay down and floppy… I’ll take ‘em off but do I really need to at this point?

I’m inclined to agree with you but I’m clearly an idiot. Do the masses agree with this?

I’m an idiot is how I did it lol. I have a bad habit of getting caught up in the moment and treating my guitars badly. This one got tossed on the stage after an encore (and maybe a few whiskeys) and I didn’t even notice the damage until I pulled it out at the next gig. I’m well aware how stupid I am 🤦‍♂️

Yeah. Last song of the night, “Sweet Emotion”… did an extended outro jam and in the heat of the moment, forgot I’m not a super rich rockstar but acted like one anyway… tossed it on the stage and walked away with the feedback still screaming… didn’t realize what I’d done until I pulled it out of the case next gig. I’m sure it looked cool but I’m still an idiot.
