I was practicing this afternoon, really getting into it when BANG!

It broke! Just Broke!

Check it out

[davesultra]

Pics are a bit of a blur. What exactly are we looking at?

[davesultra]

After closer inspection I'd say. Grab a new "A" and be on your way!?

[big bob]

They can be fixed!

[hinesarchtop]

What broke? I can't tell from pics.

[TalismanRich]

I don't think that it can be repaired. You might consider making a small plaque and donate it to the Hard Rock in Tampa. I'm sure they would mount it right behind the bar in a very prominent position!

You do actually have to change the strings from time to time. Think of it as an "upgrade". You know, like everyone else. Change one thing on a stock guitar and its an upgrade. So, upgrade your strings by putting on a new set. It'll be like new, only better.

Move the E string to A, tune to G, and use it as a Stones specialty guitar. You've got plenty with six strings.

[hinesarchtop]

You ought to send it back to the factory for new strings or just ask for a refund.

[Billgelder]

Your right it is ruined, but I think I can help you. I give it to me and I should have it repaired in time PSP.

I once had a parent come into the guitar store where I taught and complain that his son's guitar needed to be tuned. When told that all guitars are like that, he wondered why they just didn't solder the strings to the tuning pegs to keep them in tune.

Wonder if he went home and tried that. Bet he did!

So you think I might be able to solder the string back together?

[peterbright]

you could try

[Vanschoyck]

That chord should be under warranty, shouldn't it? A chord? Wire? Cable? These terms are so confusing. We are joking around, right?

[big bob]

Well the. String was not long enough to solder back together. What I ended up doing was using the longer end and soldering it directly to one of the screw heads on the pickup. I'm not sure I like how it sounds, it kinda just makes a thumping sound,but I'm gonna give it some time, maybe I'll get use to it!

That should work once it settles in.

You should be able to repair it with JB Weld. You'd really hate to loose that string wire in case you want to ever sell it. A non original wire would just kill the resale value. You know how picky those vintage collectors can be.

[DetroitBlues]

It's ruined! Guess you have to send it to me, and I'll give it a proper burial in my man cave. It shall be entombed forever..

[heritagefan7]

Did someone say you can replace strings wires? Who knew? Wow!

[brentrocks]

Send it back

[Steiner]

If I suffered such a catastrophic event, I'd just give up and take up something safe, like synchronized swimming.

[Genericmusic]

Get rid of it. It's fire wood now.
