Topic: Just broke the neck on my SG
Before anyone gets too upset it wasn't a Gibson. It was a Tokai (UG35 I think) made in 2008 in China. It cost me £185 almost new about three and a half years ago.
I'd always liked the look of the SG but I was (and still am) a Fender man so it was a bit like a guilty secret. I bought it on a whim (which isn't like me at all) and I've loved it ever since. For the price, it rocks (rocked). I've played it live at numerous gigs and I've never been disappointed with the tone. It was well made and easy to play with a beautiful neck. If you get the chance to get hold of one at a good price, do it.
I wish it had died in a rock and roll accident like falling off the back of a Rolls Royce or being used in a hotel bar fight after a stadium gig. Instead I leaned it against a chair for a moment whilst I logged on the laptop and it slid to its death due to my carelessness.
I'm not too sure how I feel right now. I've never broken a guitar before. It would be far too expensive to fix (the neck has snapped just below the head) so I'll probably strip it down for parts and sell the bits on Ebay. Not the best way to say goodbye to somthing I've spent so much time with. I think it probably deserves better.
