G/f came into the office/ music room looking for something. I stepped up to help and the base of a magnifying- glass stand fell off the desk and onto the soundboard of my ‘burst 05 F50R, which was in its stand in front of the desk. Just a freak accident, but oh man....a couple of dings on the way down and...
BIG gouge, and a fine, small crack in the soundboard right where it transitions from dark brown to light burst.
Took it to my guitar guy, he’ll stabilize the crack, and do his best with the gouge and finish... but it’ll never be the same! Breaks my heart, it was such a beautiful guitar!
Now it will have a battle scar, still sounds and plays great. But damn....
Coulda been worse.
Fingers crossed till I get it back next week.
