I tripped over the cable while my Vector was on the stand. In slow motion I watched it fall right on it's face just out of reach.

One day soon I'll be sending it off to BCR I imagine, but right now I'm just inconsolable. I bet it can be brought back into playing condition fairly easily, which is what I care about the most, but I sure did just toss it's resale value down the toilet.

I could just cry. /emoticons/default_smile.png

Oh man ... that's a MAJOR beoyoch!

I haven't ever had that happen to me, but if it did, I wouldn't

stop crying for a week.

 
Dude...that really sucks. My sympathies. I know how that feels. I watched my Redwood Huber take a fall during a show. Luckily, there was just a small dent on the back of the neck.

Holy Fractured Headstocks!!!

 
Condolences bro! Ouch....

I watched my Newport take a fall out of a stand a couple of months ago after a vocalist tripped on the chord. Luckily, it was a heavily carpeted and padded stage, so no damage, not even a ding. But it freaked me out so bad I ran right out and bought three of the Hercules stands (where the guitar hangs from the headstock). Good luck with the repair, Platzer's your man.

A roadie from another band once knocked over my '78 Sunburst resulting in similar damage. I figured I'd drop the instrument in a dumpster on the way home . . .

"Don't", someone said, and then gave me the name of the guy I now believe to be the finest repair guy in the Boston area.

The repair was dome so well - on a clear cherry finish like yours - that it was not visible. The tuning stability was unchanged, the guitar was perfect.

After a few years, the lacquer around the break would shrink and the shadow of the crack would be visible. I'd just brush a little clear lacquer on it, wait a few days, then sand it flat with 600 and buff it up with rubbing compound. Invisible, again.

Your Vector will live again!

You should have dropped the roadie in the dumpster on the way home.

Fear of a broken headstock is why I only take my bolt-ons to shows anymore.

 
Oh snap! Dammmm. I agree, Greg will bring it back, the sooner the better to get it to him just the way it is, strung up, etc.... But then again, He'll know better what to do pre send. Sorry man. ouch.

 
OUCH! condolences ... I've almost had that happen several times, but I've been lucky i guess. No worries, Greg will fix it for you just fine. Of course ... then you have to worry about shipping /emoticons/default_smile.png

 
that picture brought tears to my eyes! Sorry to see that! /emoticons/default_laugh.png/emoticons/default_smile.png/emoticons/default_smile.png/emoticons/default_laugh.png/emoticons/default_laugh.png

 
That sucks! /emoticons/default_smile.png I can't stand when I put a ding in a guitar, I can't imagine what that must feel like.

I could have gone without seeing that, I had to rush in the other room and check to make sure mine was still in the stand.. Sorry..
