Okay so a big guy sat on the neck of my guitar when he was drunk. I looked it over in the daylight and saw that there are now three cracks that look rather significant in the top of it, but I don't know how much of a beating a guitar really can take before it needs to get fixed. If this is cosmetic, whatever, adds to the character, but if it's structural or will gently caress up the sound I'm definitely going to beat his rear end into paying for repairs: This is my guitar:  Click here for the full 1024x768 image. And these are the details of the damages-- At the bridge, toward the bottom of the guitar:  Click here for the full 1024x768 image. At the smaller set of soundholes:  Click here for the full 1024x768 image. And this is the longest one, going from the inside of the top soundholes all the way under the strings:  Click here for the full 1024x768 image.  Click here for the full 1024x768 image. So I'm kind of hoping this is just the varnish that's cracked, and not the wood, but it's really hard for me to tell, and goons seem to know everything. Please, help?

God drat. I guess it's time to be loving pissed. Thanks for the advice, guys. I guess at least I'll get better at bass now since I can't play my guitar...

Coca Koala posted:I know that on my Ovation with the epaulet soundholes, there's a patch on the back that you can unscrew to do fun stuff like truss rod adjustments. Is your guitar lacking this? If not, then just take that off and stick a flashlight in there, which might make clear how deep the damage is. There is one, good point. I'll try and open this if I can, but I live in a dorm room so I don't exactly have a tool kit lying around. At any rate I'll be home in a few days and able to look at it for sure. Thanks. E: Fortunately it looks like the damage is probably cosmetic--no interior cracks. I'll still have it looked at, but I'm feeling cautiously relieved. Anyway thanks for the help guys.

scuz posted:I put DR's phosphor bronze on my old one and now it's the sound equivalent to a 1,000w light bulb. I use D'Addario flat tops, like 12s or 13s. E: I should clarify that it's a pretty bright tone, not unbalanced though, to my ear, and a little unconventional overall. Sounds pretty great plugged in too.
