“I stepped on the stage really hard and the guitar fell over and exploded. The headstock shattered into five pieces”: That time Ty Segall accidentally smashed his beloved ’60s Gibson

Ty Segall performs at The Roundhouse on June 28, 2024 in London, England.

We all have that one (or several) story of accidentally breaking gear (and, well, if you don't have one, congratulations – you're an exception to the rule), but Ty Segall’s snafu can best be described as every guitarist or bassist's worst nightmare.

The garage rocker has recounted the time he accidentally smashed his prized ’65 Gibson Melody Maker, which he had received after graduating college.
