The other day while stumbling around the studio (in the dark, trying to install a light bulb..)I tripped and fell over backwards-right onto my #1 Strat...and yep, I split the neck. Starting right at the 'skunk stripe' and running along the grain maybe three inches, a hairline fracture that pretty much renders the guitar useless.
So I've been using a different strat, my Yngwie style, scalloped fretboard thing, and it's a pretty good backup axe. Problem is, I've found that since the wang bar works so good on this thing, that I'm abusing the damn whammy a bit much...and since the guitar plays 'like butter'...I've been shredding more than usual. The guitar has really affected my style just because it lends itself to such a style. Weird.
