Reply to comment by satisfried in TIL that Transdermal Celebration by Ween has a guitar solo that was played with Carlos Santana's guitar without him knowing it. Ween sneaked into the storage where Santana's tools were, played the solo just once, recorded it, and left the place. That solo is the one used in the final song. by outfoxingthefoxes

This is stupid. People act like guitars are some sacred thing...pssh.

A guitar is just an instrument. Some total shit guitars sound great in the studio, and some of the greatest players play cheap ass instruments. The instrument is nothing special. Santa has 100 guitars in storage all over the place.

Most musicians would share/swap instruments if simply asked. Unless you're just a dick

People get weird about instruments, though. I had a guitarist who was a vocal advocate for pacifism nearly bludgeon a sound engineer because the engineer insulted his guitar. Musicians are kind of crazy to begin with, and guitarists are a special kind...

Sure but you should still ask. If I broke into your house and stole your screwdriver to finish a project you’d probably be mad about it even if you don’t care about the screwdriver.

If you came across my screwdriver somewhere and used it then left it where it was and I was oblivious to it having been used we'd be cool.

How about your car- an expensive piece of equipment that you rely on for work and that requires maintenance/calibration?

What about Willie Nelson’s beloved acoustic guitar named Trigger?
