I may be inheriting a really, really craptastic guitar that the bassist in my band attempted to destroy by throwing it across the room, but it remained intact. So now I'm wondering if any of you have suggestions on insane stuff to do to it. I'd estimate it's dollar value at practically nothing, so I don't think I'll feel guilty at inflicting as much damage as possible in order to transform into a badass noise making abomination.

Get a fireproof suit.
Get a gig.
Don said suit
Light guitar on fire.
Play said guitar until it's a puddle of plastic on the ground.

That's been done.

Guitars are made out of wood. I don't know why so many people assume that they are made of plastic, my younger brother thought the same thing...

Anway, MQ, what do you mean by "do stuff to it?" Do you want to modify it/make it playable, or do you want to destroy it?

Also, out of curiosity, what is the model/make of said guitar?

wood? you speak crazy!

I'm thinking in terms of stuff like this. That's just nuts. But I don't wanna rip their idea .

So I guess destroying it but still allowing it to be playable to some extent.

Sonic Youth are awesome!
They do some awesome guitar stuff. They're known for jamming screwdrivers into the knobs to turn up the distortion a lot.

All you need is love.

crazy yet not exactly abusive would be to to completely detune your guitar... just loosen the strings until just before you can't hear them when it is plugged in

then run it through an insanely ultra high gain distortion

LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

Play it?

Flibbledy-dibbledy! Nyaaaaaaaahhh!

Build an airgun, plug the guitar into an amp, and shoot it with the airgun. It's fun.


Or if you don't like to be wasteful, you can give it to a hobo for firewood.
