My wife threw it but lets clarify she didn't get to, it wasn't like I let her. But I could have done more to prevent her from doing it. As far as unique I think it would have been cool to say I wore all those places out in the guitar which is why I play it so much, I would have much rather my favorite guitar didn't get thrown. But it did and after some wood working magic I was able to salvage the guitar. At the time I also had home owner insurance on the guitar and was looking into replacing the guitar. Doing so would have required a Deductable payment of $250 which I didn't have, and my rates would have gone up on the house to nearly double the cost of a new Fender Stratocaster if they replaced the guitar. It was repairable and it was my favorite the only reason the guitar exists today. Had it been my les paul the old insurance would have had to replace my fallen axe, but it just wasn't as important to me. This guitar has played every gig I have ever played and was my main guitar, its been on trips to the beach, its been as north as Cleavland Ohio, and south as Daytona Beach Florida. This guitar is me, its my persona, its the guitar I've requested in my will be in my casket.
The reason I still play it is because there just isn't anything that I've ever owned that I've bonded with to this level. Its my "Go To" guitar. This guitar has no price tag in my eyes. I doubt I could sell it for $300 even as parts!

Who got to throw it?
I think it looks good. And one thing I'm finding is the more "unique" or "you" a guitar is, the less it will be snatched from you. Perceived as less value and perceived more un public as your guitar.
