Got to stop asking how it happens.

Yes, how does one just simply drop it and create a break that extends down into the sides, me thinks that looks like a rock star stage act where you smash the body into the ground whilst holding onto the neck.

Nah, looks more like one of your standard domestic "smash!...and take ur f@#king guitar with u" cracks to me. There pretty nasty, but don't have quite the same impact of your common..."You bastard...I found those f#@king messages on your phone you pr#@k...NOW GET OUT!!! SMASH!!!!!CRUNCH!!!CRUNCH!!BANG!! and take your f@#king guitar with u!!!...boohoohoo"... cracks, now those ones are generally really bad. :(

Cheers

Some people just shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a musical instrument.
