Absolutely no. I am seriously consulting. There is no need to prank
Oh whatever man. You know how to play and own nice guitars, you know how psychotic this is. Even the Conde student guitar is like a typically a decent Sanchis level Valencia that I would recommend to students. No matter how bad a guitar is interms of damage, the top is THE THING that makes a guitar voice character and soul, to replace one is to basically save what exactly? Back and sides that have a label stuck on? Obviously the person acquired trash guitars and wants to do a shock photo thing, like on YouTube I am entertained by idiots smashing guitars. It is a great release of frustrations, but at the end of the day, this thing here is sick, as in psychologically.

You are right. I was shocked at that time and I was so confused why he destroyed this rare guitar. He is a rough fixer and I will never send my guitar to his place. I wrote this thread because I was interested in that Conde 75. Now I know the old time pearl had become a piece of shxt.

Although I had a good lough with some of the replies in this thread I must admit that these pictures are nightmares material. I wish I had never seen them.
I really did had nightmares with one or the other of my guitars breaking in a non fixable way over the years, waking up in the morning relieved it was just a dream... but this made even the worst of nightmares to come to real life. Now I am traumatized no for real
RE: Is this the correct way to fix? (in reply to rombsix)
Can we have an added warning next to the title like they do in adult or horror movies, or even warning as flashing lights in a video can cause epileptic seizure?
Maybe the title can be edited to "Is this the correct way to fix? - WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT"

Same here, for years I had a reoccurring scenario of chasing my Father (who died when I was 17) and finally get him to check out my flamenco guitar which is totally smashed when I open the case.
