Fucking guitar strap buttons
The thing that I referred to in my last entry,
"she phoned me and I was feeling a bit crap about something (read the next blog entry)."
Yeah, after Iona had left I was slightly motivated to play guitar, Igot it off my lovely wall mounted guitar holder and had a little play for not even a minute then I adjusted the way I had the guitar with its strap rather violently, to get the neck at more of an angle upwards then suddenly the strap button near the neck flew out.. luckly I caught the guitar before it fell to the ground!
Turns out the grooves which the strap buttons screw was screwed into the wood of the guitar had gone because I must have overtightened the screw when putting the strap button back on. So then the screw could just pull right out of the hole... this is very annoying.
Its a simple fix, stick some bits of wood (cocktail/toothpicks cut to size or a piece of dowel) into the tiny hole with wood glue, then re-screw in.
However, the guitar is still in warranty! so really I don't need to fret too much or fix it myself. I emailed the guitar tech and hopefuly i'll get a reply on Monday!
Even though its an easy fix as its in warranty it really got me down and I just put the guitar down and didn't bother rest of the evening,until later where I had a little fiddle after reading some guitar forums and such.
So yeah quite annoying but my fault really, I always manage to fuck things up!
