There's something really satisfying about seeing a broken guitar fixed up and brought back to life. This isn't as radical as Greg's bench reports, but I was reading up on James Taylor's acoustics and found these pics of his main Olson guitar when they were damaged by an airline. Nice work by Olson.

Nice work! Those high dolla guitars see a lot of road work. I would think he'd fly them in a nice road case, but perhaps that would be too hard to handle if he has to carry the guitar. I have a road case for a dread size and it's a bear.

So, is he going to write a song about his guitar getting smashed up by an airline and become famous?

I've got to stop clicking these threads, the happy ending never makes up for the heart break...
