DIY Techno-hacksOld hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

EntertainingBut false. If the unit failed so spectacularly, it would not have been due to your guitar strings touching anything.

No againComplete nonsense - the strings aren't connected to anything electrical and the top of the mic *shouldn't* have any power going through, unless it was a badly wired phantom powered one, and if that was the case you'd have known the first time you picked it up.
Sorry, a complete fabrication of a story.

Any ideas what could have caused it then?I swear this story is true. I'm just guessing that the strings + mic caused the blowout but the timing seemed too coincidental to be anything else so I put two and two together. (last time I do that you pedantic buggers)
Too much power going into it and me just overloading it with feedback? I dunno. Not an electrical genius. But you've probably guessed that by now.
