And apparently I'm the first one
I need an acoustic guitar for an upcoming show and one of my friend gave me one 2 weeks before the show. That's cool, but shit, I noticed a fucking crack on the top.
A big one. I think it happened when I was coming back from my friend's house. Fucking winter.
Now I gotta buy it to her, 600$ Sucks.
What can I do? Whant should I say??

she'll want to know how it happened. if you dont know, tell her you dont know. if you got drunk and stoned and accidentally sat on it (its happened), then tell her. tell the truth.
cracked guitars still play. my guitar is cracked. i just accept it as a 'college guitar' maybe later in life ill get something really nice. not now, no way in hell. Damaging a guitar is like damaging a car (haha). the first scratch/dent/crack is the worst, then you just dont even worry about it.

Nah man, a cracked guitar is shit. If you crack someones guitar you owe them another straight up. Just tell her what happened and give her the money.

I'd say it's the cold because it really makes sense. I left without a crack and arrived with one, nothing happened when I was walking.
Well, we'll see.
She'll turn psychotic.
Ah I fucking knew it.

yeah, you still gotta pay her for the guitar, but you can still justify owning her cracked guitar.
you needed an acoustic anyway.

93 When you go to give it back to her, just freak out and start smashing it against a wall animal house style. Act dazed and confused for a few seconds afterwards while she is in shock, then appear to come to your senses. This way, you can claim temporary insanity and she might just understand and forgive. Edit: Colbadol catches my drift 93 93/93

man, i'd never lend out a guitar to someone who doesn't have one. if you dont have a guitar, then you haven't had one long enough to take care of it. maybe i'm just cynical or maybe i love my guitars too much. who knows.
anyway yeah, give her an apology and give her the money asap. she'll probably feel okay if she can go get another axe

I get VERY attached to my guitars.

tell me about it. I recently purchased an american strat and just recently scratched some paint of the bottom. It's ok though. I accept it and feel I will be playing this guitar for years to come and it will certainly get worn in on the way.

I would have to agree, what the fuck else can you do but run and hide? You may as well have killed one of her family.

nah, Disabled a member of the family, maybe, but a crack hardly equals guitar death. Like I said before. I cracked my dreadnaught like 4 years ago, and i STILL play the shit out of it. It's fine. I prob just wont perform with it on stage.

Cracks are fixable. Get an estimate at a music shop.
