"When a woman messes with my guitar, she messes with my world."

This is what Edwin Summers told Chicago police after they arrested him for bludgeoning his girlfriend with a guitar Sunday morning. The woman was treated at a nearby hospital for a cut to the head, but nothing has been said about what she did to the guitar. 

Judging from Summers' comment, this doesn't sound like the first time someone has fucked with the instrument. If you come between a man and his axe, he might swing it at you. Hopefully, other men are wise enough to know that cracking your girlfriend in the head with a guitar will get you locked up, and lighten your pockets.

Summers better be comfortable financially, otherwise he might have to part with that guitar to get a lawyer. Wouldn't it be some shit if he couldn't even play it?
