So, at my gig this happened...

[The Dali]

So, I was in my basement gigging with my buddy and he asked me if he could borrow my Saga Kit Guitar (which I had modded with a killer set of Cort pickups) and I was like, "no way dude... I set this guitar up myself!" But then I started thinking it was kinda weird to be gigging by myself, so I let him borrow the guitar (sounded AWESOME with those pickups and the Alpha pots I installed) and he ended up doing this to the guitar:




How am I ever going to get that cleaned up? I knew I shouldn't have let him borrow the guitar.

I think your only realistic option is to silver-plate the entire guitar.

I don't believe you. A lot more arrogance and elitism is required to sell the story.

My old ibanez fish oil guitar tale is way more believable than this.

I knocked the pickup selector switch cover off of my guitar at a gig and ultimately ended up ripping open my palm on it. There was a ton of blood but nothing like the pictures above.

I was at a gig, but I forgot my guitar. Fortunately the chick whose basement we were pla-- I mean, the stage manager, yeah, that's it, the Stage Manager arranged for me to borrow this *****in' guitar from some dude. I had this really annoying booger, so I was picking my nose and things got really bad...

...at least it wasn't mine!

Don't worry. The pickup IS clean.

What else would you expect from a Cort pickup?

I was so mad at my friend, but I told him I did it to prove to him that it was a bad idea to let him the play the guitar. I think he learned his lesson.

That pickup is totally destroyed. I think someone owes the OP a new pickup. Didn't ya say it was a Zephyr?

Re: So, at my gig this happened...

So I take it you like your new paint job...

Sould have done something to those pickups too though...

Not a look I would like for any of my guitars...

The more i hear about the Blood Zephyrs, the more i'm interested. Who needs stinkin' Silver Zephyrs when you can have Blood Zephyrs ? They got to sound waaaay more organic.

Re: So, at my gig this happened...

Is this a game of oneupmanship? If so, there has to be a bodily fluid that is even more precious than blood. Dribbling this life-giving fluid over pickups would make them THE most valuable possible in the entire universe. I think that I know just the man to demonstrate this pickup. (A man on emission, so to speak.)

More natural 'decay' to the note, huh?

I wanna make some money out of all of this. I'm going to patent the name Cumbuckers.
