Since this thread is stalled, I thought I'd tell how the guitar got stepped on. A friend and I were hopping freights from Iowa to Washington, and I had my cheap guitar (a Goya I'd found in the attic of a house I rented) in a gunny sack case I'd made (Johnny b good special). So we were playing frisbee in the boxcar to while away the miles, when a bad throw headed the frisbee out the door. My friend made a jump for it, and got the frisbee, and landed on my guitar. I think it was karma, though I've only a vague Lutheran understanding of karma. I borrowed the same friend's teepee once for about six months and returned it mildewy.
