An ex girlfriend of mine emptied my flat of everything except the telephone and the bed (she couldn't dismantle it). She took the carpets, curtains, lighbulbs even the lightswitches, I nearly electrocuted myself. I was away for the weekend.
The thing was, it was my flat and my stuff, none of it belonged to her except the bloody bed...
I did get my revenge however, when she realised I was away for the weekend.....with her sister.
thanks, i'm still here though, she's been history for 7 years now![]()
still aint moved on from it though i dont think
It's only artificial damage but as said...its the concept, people tend to look after their guitars by polishing them, keeping them in tune, all sorts, they're expensive normally. It's like someone coming along and keying your car down the whole side, or someone sawing your Oly bar in half
So it's an expensive one? I guess that's more my question, is it expensive / rare that it's such an issue?

She'd packed all of his clothes - folded them, actually, and neatly too - into one of her suitcases which, when opened, had a note inside reading (and I honestly kid you not), "No one puts Baby in the corner. No one."
He didn't know what to do, he was flabbergasted. I mean, how do you respond to that level of crazy? Apparently, you come round to my house and beg me to go and get the clothes for you because you're worried that Mental Bird might attack you if you turn up yourself. I eventually ended up going round there to take the clothes out of her suitcase and put them into a black binliner (ah, students!).
He was well rid of her, she was as mad as a window. Also, pro-tip : don't bang a selection of tawdry ***** who are very vocal about their conquests and who, in at least one instance, know your girlfriend. Suitcase craziness ensues.
Also if anyones wondering my choice of name stems that every name i ever want when i make an online account anywhere is taken.
YET allnamestaken never is. Good stuff.
That sucks DM, I feel sorry for your mate, it takes a special kind of twisted person to mess with someone's prized possessionswhat on earth did he do?
I doubt there's much he can do as the scratches look deep.
Best bet would be to take it to a luthier who also refinishes guitars, get them to strip it and repaint it, hopefully the scratches aren't that deep, at least it'll look like new then.
They've split up after he caught her with somebody else.
My lead guitarist is a Luthier so hopefully he will sort it out for him.
Another musician mate of mine caught his wife with somebody and realised it would be wise to move all his prize possessions to a mates garage.
When she moved out she took a hammer and jigsaw to the house smashing the bath & toilet and cutting through the bannisters.
A few months later a Letter Of Claim came through the door for half of his music gear which consisted of 5 quality guitars, 2 quality keyboards and assorted quality amps/effects.
I didn't know him at the time and he sold all his instruments to musician friends for £5 each and ended up sending her a cheque for £50![]()
Why was she claiming half the gear when its quite clearly his?
You know if a girl hits me i dont mind but if she HITS ME... KNOWING i wont hit her back and using that as an advantage il hit her with my pork pole.
