It's a bit of a joke really if you see what was done to Bill Monroe's mandolins by a supposedly vengeful lover, I'd settle for losing the strings.

A friend of mine and his wife had a row and in revenge she went to break his fishing rods, the first one she grabbed was a 6 foot solid fibreglass boat rod, try as she might she couldn't break it, she gave up after 15 minutes.
