I've had my R8 a whole... week (?) now, and I'm already earning some battle scars. Its as if she WANTS to look like a vintage burst!
I have some small buckle rash started (and I wear an untucked shirt over my belt - Nitro is taking me some getting used to!), a couple of very minor surface scuffs on the back, and then I have this beauty on the side (the yellow looking spot in the middle):
I was opening a box for my son and dropped my (closed) pocket knife, which grazed the side of my R8 and put a nice dent in the side (hard to capture now that the sun is low and I've just got my inside lights...).
At band practice yesterday, I caught the corner of my headstock on my microphone (roughed up the corner some, hard to see in the pic, but its a little rounded now), and I have some rub marks between the neck and headstock wings from restringing my wound strings (scrrraaaape! There's the one good sized notch, and then two small ones to the right of it).
So, I've done my fair share of damage in a weeks time!
Lets see your Historic's battle scars! I know that Sybil has one or two, eh, Bobbo?
