Guitar Nightmare

I haven't been consciously obsessed or tortured by the little ding I put in the Alvarez a few days ago but this morning I had a dream that was no doubt inspired by it.

In the dream I had put the guitar in its case and loaded it into the back of the car, along with lots of groceries. When I took it out later, the groceries had spilled over the case and the lower right quarter of the guitar's top was completely scarred. It looked like a car had run over it. The binding also had come loose and there were several deep cuts around the pickguard. I flipped it over and saw that the back wasn't really wood. It was cardboard -- soggy, torn cardboard.

I think my dream was trying to warn me not to mix guitars and groceries.

Hehe, only a guitar player would have a nightmare like that. I tripped over a patch cable and knocked my Paul straight to the floor. Its ok, but it took quite a beating and it now sports some nifty gashes. Be thankful this didn't actually happen to your Alvarez.

With dreams like that, it's clear that your children are far too well behaved lest you dreaming about more dreaded topics
