Ha! My mom used to call mine a "pot tower", and it was so funny I never told her the "proper" name.El Kabong from the '70's is a totally different thing!

I wish Capquest had taken a picture of my former 1967 F-50 Rosewood before he'd gotten it retopped. On the other hand, I'm sure it'd be really cringeworthy to everyone here on LTG and I might have to ban myself.
I almost "El Kabong"ed my trumpet once when I was in high school after I seriously botched a solo. I'm really glad I didn't though. I recently sold that trumpet to a student player and it lives on with her.
Moral of the story... Take a chill pill.

I'd say something stronger than supposedly
That time a priceless 145-year-old Martin acoustic was smashed on the set of a Quentin Tarantino film
A mix-up on set meant that Kurt Russell ended up destroying an 1870s parlor guitar on loan direct from the Martin Museum while filming The Hateful Eight – but the story doesn't end there

I remember this well. That's why the Martin Museum will no longer loan any of their guitars to film makers!I'd say something stronger than supposedly

Read that also.
Oy. Poor, old Martin.
I didn't remember the part about Jennifer Jason Leigh not knowing what was going on. Ugh.

GGJaguar,El Kabong'd 1977 D-40
Just a flesh wound.
A bit of duct tape here and there, and good as new.

Oh, I was reminded that there were two period-correct Guilds (1960s-1970s) that were played in "Daisy Jones and the Six" but there was no El-Kabonging going on. I would never fault a Guild lover for not loaning their guitar to a movie production!
I've never seen a Guild destroyed, but my former 1967 F-50 Rosewood was El Kabonged by an old girlfriend of the original owner. It was repaired with a new top, but that was a real life situation, not a stupid movie director.

GGJaguar,I did not know that cymbals could be El Kabong'd.
Given enough weapons-grade Plutonium, anything can be El Kabonged.

Watching the clip, her reaction is memorable. A mix of shock, horror and anger.
Reading the accounts of how the guitar came to be destroyed, I do wonder if Tarantino did it deliberately, to get her onscreen reaction
The financial penalty would be negligible compared to the movie's budget and I have no idea whether the loss of an extremely rare guitar would bother him. I really do hope it was a genuine accident, but will never be sure.
