Man repels attackers with broken guitar
Guitars aren't only good just for playing, they are also good for beating the s@*t out of people and saving your life!
A man armed with nothing but a broken guitar repelled an attack by two men in which his throat was cut.
The 48 year old man needed 26 stitches to his wrist, neck, ear and chest following the attack close to his home in Muirhouse, near Edinburgh, Scotland. He had suffered a three inch cut to his throat, two cracked ribs, a bruised chest bone, a black eye and a bruised cheek bone after being hit over the head with a bottle and stabbed.
Today he said he was relieved to be back home and said: “I’m still a bit dizzy. I’m stunned by what happened. It was totally unexpected.”
He said he was attacked and at one point fended off his attackers with a broken guitar.
Two men, aged 32 and 34, have been charged with attempted murder.

Gibson announce 60′s tribute models
From the Gibson website…
“Last year, Gibson Guitar released the Les Paul ’50s Tribute, a well-crafted, but inexpensive remake of the classic models of the 1950s. The response to this limited run was overwhelming, making it one of the most sought-after guitars in recent years. Because fan response was so overwhelmingly positive, Gibson is pleased to announce an update to this popular run.
This month, Gibson has begun production on both a Les Paul Studio ’60s Tribute and an SG Special ’60s Tribute. As with the ’50s Tributes, both guitars take their cues from classic historical models, but add a simplicity in design that strips away all pretensions and gives the player a lighter, less-costly, easier-to-play instrument that still retains the elegance of the original designs. Both guitars also feature classic P-90 pickups – Gibson’s first electric pickup, that has withstood every musical trend for the last 60 years and is still a mainstay on stage and in the studio.
Ask your local Gibson dealer now about the Les Paul Studio ’60s Tribute and the SG Special ’60s Tribute. And stay tuned on Gibson.com today, as we unveil the details of these modern classics.”
