Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I was just thinking about this guy while I was waiting for the bus...
(That image was still stuck in my mind, thank you!)
I can play E, Em, A, Am, C, D, G, Fmaj7 without my index finger. (I just tried to make sure.)
I'm sure that I could figure-out how to bar Am-shaped bars without a finger tip, for Bm's and such.
I'm sure I would try real hard to find a way to do E-shaped bars. Maybe with my thumb on the sixth string.
My point being, I would not wanna just quit playing because of that (yucky) accident.
I wouldn't just quit! I would see it as a challenge.
And I coulda lived without the image of the finger!
[But I'd like the guitar... Would I always think of the finger?] |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I lost the pad on my right ring finger when a large marble monument fell on it and I instinctively pulled away. I can definitely feel this guy's pain. I was much more fortunate however, in that I didn't lose the bone. My hand surgeon just high-pressure irrigated it and left it to grow back (yes THAT hurt also with no anesthesia). I was amazed that it in fact grew back. It looks a little like it should be a toe though (: Sorry ... I won't be posting pictures though. |

Location: CT | I smashed my index finger real good a couple years ago. I can still feel the scar tissue underneath, and still hurts with certain chords.
That listing is way to long winded. By the end I didn't even care anymore, I just wanted to move on. Just say "I lost my finger tip in an accident and can't play anymore - Heres the guitar I'm selling...."
Oh, and leave out the nasty pics to.. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Yeah, you're right. By the time you get finished reading the novel and getting grossed out by the pictures, you forget all about the guitar. |
