My bass fell off of my guitar stand at church (while I was walking back stage so I didn't see it). Fortunately, all I got was nick in the head stock. It was built tough and I got lucky it didn't wind up like that 360.

Those are great pictures and excellent work. Thanks for sharing with those of us who are unskilled, Dale.

OMG! I was literally slack jawed when I saw that photo. OUCH! At least it was a clean break. What was involved in the cure?

My 381/12 fell out of its stand once, about 15 years ago, but the worst it suffered was one bent tuning peg, which I managed to repair.

"Daniel bought this body and parts off Ebay for almost $1,000.00. Seems kind of high to me but what he got in the end was worth the effort."

Eek! I think you have me confused with someone else! I paid $40 (I think?) for the body alone, the parts were sold at auction separately.

Dale, I just looked at the picture you posted and took all my guitars off their stands and put them in cases! Image

Mine stay in the case. A RIC case type stand is also safe, but still, I'd only use something like that while playing a gig, not for letting the guitar stand around.

geee, that "original" Rick is $710 and "reserve not met". For that price, or slightly more, I'g get a working one.
