...We must all bear the scars of life with dignity, musical instruments are no different. Get over it and play the damned thing it's what it's for! Yes I agree no-one wants to see the neck broken off your favourite instrument or have it used as a club by some nutter in a bar room brawl! but my best instruments have been all over the place with me, yes they've had the odd knock over the years. But SO HAVE I!
