usually the crew has 1 or 2 instruments tested and ready to go to change just in case anything happens

That’s their job. Impressive? Yeah. Their job? Yeah.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

For a show like this, there's backups for everything. They literally just have to press a button (to unmute the backup). They have a standard procedure for everything that can go wrong: 1. Guitarist grabs backup... 2. Engineer unmutes backup... 3. Stage hand clears debris for safety

[@memesfromdeepspace1075]

The show cost alot of money ......better not disapoint anyone

[@Charlie_B.]

You do realize it is literally the job of the techs to be ready for this exact thing. What do you they are just sitting back there in a circle jerk???? They are back there waiting for something to happen so they can immediately recover and keep going. Jeez some fvcking people.

His Ibanez is an S Series. You'd be hard pressed to find a guitar with a smaller body than an S Series or a thinner neck.@@riftsxp

[@advait.P]

A true artist respects ones instruments because he/she knows it’s the instrument which has earned him/her respect.

[@THE-CRT]

Allow me to explain, him grabbing it by the whammy bar like that increased the tension of the strings a lot. Placing strain on the neck, when combined with the action of kneeing it right where the neck is attached to the body there was a low likelihood of it not breaking

[@56335130]

It's an ibanez s,very thin body connection area wooden material,and the tension and the hit of the quadrecept on the neck just breaks the bolt on connection part thin part.

He never left Ibanez, and his Custom PRS guitar is a one of a kind model that hasn’t ever been produced again considering it actually uses the same Ibanez tremolo system that he prefers on his Ibanez signature model

Unrelated but my little brother has a Peavey Vypyr with a special control board that includes various effects and a wah/volume/pitch shift. I hate the sound of that amp but whenever I play through it I like to pull up on the whammy bar and then use the pitch shift pedal to keep going up in pitch
