So I have seen a few very nice guitars for sale with one or two teeth missing. Scratches on the tops which make them seem ugly but workable? Any experience with using super glue to drop fill these scratches as long as it is not showing raw wood?
Amen, brutha. Every time a drunk stumbles toward me it's my pedalboard that I worry about. But when it's a drunk chick lumbering close to my gear it gets tougher to do a defensive body-check.I understand, Boogie. Yes, I play live all the time. That is where any accidents I have had were encountered.
I did use Ultimate Support stands and either band mates or drunks never failed to find them, no matter where they were put on stage. I switched to Hercules stands and the same things occurred. I just threw up my hands in defeat and started using the cases for protection. That saved me on several occasions in the last five years already.
In a concert, I would use stands rather then haul cases on stage, but for bar work, I use the cases.
That seems to be where the damage always crops up.
