Guitar Headstock
Banged the End of my electric guitar headstock on a door will it be ok?
I was doing a Gig today and when I was walking out with my guitar out of a Room I didn't realise how low the door was and the top of my guitar hit the top of the door. Now it didnt happen hard more like slow walking pace. Guitar plays fine but im just wondering apart from cosmetic damage (Which there isnt any at all ) will there be any internal damage?
Also how durable is a guitar can it withstand little knocks like these
Hello there,
If there is no signs of external damage, there will be no internal damage. Look for cracks, especially at the neck pocket and around the tuning pegs. Those are the weakest points that tend to crack the easiest. A blow to the top of the headstock can put pressure at the neck body joint, so that is why you check the neck pocket for cracks. If you see no cracks, you got off all right. So count yourself lucky.
For the truss rod to get damaged from that, you will see a crack in the neck itself. That is the only internal part of the neck.
