# I was tightening up a new set of strings
and the anchor point on the body came away with violent force :(

It was only a cheapo acoustic off of ebay so no biggy.

# I've always had a secret desire to break an acoustic guitar over somebody's head.
I think that's what you should do with it now.

# I think you are probably right.
I could glue it back on, but I dont think glue could take the strain.

# I've done that before...
the whole bridge came off and hit me in the face.

I now play in a severely down-tuned guitar...

# No, but it's worth it for the Borg thing I've now got going on...
I've also snapped a guitar in half - lengthways...

# I didn't want to!
It fell off me and... well.. snapped.

I may have shed a tear or two over that guitar...

# What kind of strings were you putting on it?
If you were putting steel strings on a guitar designed for nylon strings, then I would expect it to warp the guitar at the very least.

But if you were putting on the right kind of strings and not tuning higher than concert pitch, then it could not have been a particularly well made guitar.
