You don't think someone dreaming or believing there may be a worthwhile scenario for this to happen isn't worth hearing out?

I think they just played a G chord incorrectly and the guitar couldn't take it.Administrator of the SDUGFComment

I don't see a defective Martin guitar here. I see an unidentified guitar, and people claiming that other people said that the unidentified guitar was a Martin. I'd have to see the whole guitar before I buy that story.Comment

I think the guy was trying to maybe trying to pop/slide out a worn fret with sidestrike from a ball peen hammer without his glasses“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne ChouinardComment

Bro, I literally have 2 guitars exactly like that one. I could tell instantly that it was a Martin. Mine haven't had any issues with the fingerboards, though.Originally posted by Mr. B View Post
Regardless of brand, it's a crap job, but I doubt the guitar itself has seen the most desirable conditions throughout its lifetime, so there's that...mine have been played a ton and don't look anywhere near that worn. That one looks like it went on a trek through the Himalayas, LOL!Last edited by Masta' C; 07-08-2022, 08:43 AM.Comment

No, that's not it at all. Curiosity is a great thing and I value that. I sort of wonder about that fretboard too, but really, it shouldn't happen under ANY (accidental) circumstances. There is NO scenario for this that would be worthwhile, so the answer really doesn't matter enough to me to justify even asking.Originally posted by NegativeEase View Post

I feel like I need to label when I am making jokes, being sarcastic or making bombast. I realize that it's not always obvious.Originally posted by GuitarDoc View Post“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne ChouinardComment

I have the 5260 baritone and the 5220 electromatic jet with stoptail and it's an awesome guitar. I agree that gretsch has good guitars.Originally posted by Ashurbanipal View Post
They do seem to have a good rep, particularly that baritone Duo Jet seems popular even with the djenty crowd. I like the look of that G5232 in burgundy sparkle, yum.
The Martin in question here is about $750 new. I'd want the fingerboard glued on properly at that price
