Smashed Guitar

I was leaving Judy's house today and about to climb in my car when I saw this poor, unfortunate imitation Strat lying on the ground, split in two, innerds spilling out and missing its peg-head! I particularly liked the reflection of the clouds on the guitar body.

Great b&w

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!

[Maggiemae]

Was it a real guitar, do you think! I can visualise someone smashing this over someone's head! Perhaps he was too loud!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie! It was not a "real" guitar as in a valuable guitar that a musician would play. It might have been a "starter" guitar for a child or something like that. I've seen them at Walmart for about $30 or less. Still, it's a shame to see it treated this way, even though it wasn't anything special.

[Rick Schies]

Oh boy, at first I thought it was Jeff's and something terrible happened to it.

[Tammy]

Oh, no - poor guitar! Great capture!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@digitalrn Thanks Rick- oh, no! I don't touch his instruments and neither does he let other folks touch them either! So his are always safe and sound!
@tabarlett Thanks Tammy!

What an unusual thing to come across! I too love the cloud reflection in the guitar body.

[Kathy]

Even an imitation shouldn't be treated so badly! Sad that anything that makes music is broken in pieces!! Nice capture though and like it in B/W!!

[Bev]

Nice shot, Ann. Poor guitar. It looks like someone smashed it during a rock concert. Nice catch. Looks good in b&w.

[Joyce]

Great B&W shot but sad to see it so badly treated.

[alia_801]

Great find and capture. I have to wonder what happened to it though!

[Dione Giorgio]

That's the end of this guitar. The player was probably booed out and vented his rage on his instrument.

[Sally Ings]

Such a sad ending. I hope it was loved at some point. The black and white conversion adds to the despair of the scene.

[Marta]

Aaghh! That is sad.

[bkb in the city]

Great find

[Nicole]

Ow no! but it does make a cool photo!

[Lynn]

Good choice in b&w, no way to treat a guitar, cheap or otherwise...

[Suse♡]

Oh my who could have broken such beautiful instrument!? It´s sad but captivating and most defenitely worlks well in b/w

[Pyrrhula]

Some questions to ask . Why the demolish, why the troy away on a street?
The capture works great in B+W

[Francoise]

makes it look like a kid's toy

Thank you to all! And apologies for this mass thank you. We have family in town from California and Oklahoma for our niece's graduation so it's busy, busy, busy, right now! I'll be posting today, but back to view your photos by the end of the week. Thanks so much for being the best followers a gal could ever ask for!!

For those who were wondering- this poor guitar was probably a victim of a fraternity party as the house it was photographed by is occupied by students who attend the university in town.

Great food and capture

[Bill Fenske]

@bill_fe damn auto correct. should have been great find. :)

[Pam]

Oh no! Who would do such a thing? Great find, and capture!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bill_fe @pammerritt
Thanks Bill!
Thanks Pam! I believe it was some college students fooling around during a party.
