My Guitar Heroes

When I went to rehearse for my Universal Bar & Grill gig the other night, I found the bridge was totally ripped off my guitar when I opened the case to play. I was stunned. It was 10:30p and I had a gig the next night. I called Norik, my guitar guy who is a master luthier, and asked what it would take to fix it. “No less than 48 hrs.” was the answer.

“Wow” was my response. So I got on the phone. Luckily, my friend, Scott, is also a night owl and a great musician with a lot of gear and a lot of guitars. When I told him about my guitar situation, he first offered me sympathy and then offered me his classical guitar for my gig. My hero! So I got in my car and drove over the hill to Scott’s place.

The next morning, I brought my guitar over to the shop. Norik said, “Wow”, when he saw the damage. He also said not to worry. Apparently glue can break down in the elements out here, and that’s most likely what happened. My guitar, Rosie Hitler, is not the most expensive guitar, just a very cool one. She’ll be all fixed up in about a week.

Blessings!
