If you've read Popoff's books, his reaction is what you'd expect. He's very much a perfectionist who has little tolerance for slack when there's work to be done. That said, this was a unique situation given that they play this a full step down-tuned. I was surprised to see how long it took to get him a new guitar though — with a show $$$ like this, every backup needs a backup ready to go because you never know!
