After being one of the most talked about performers for the past year, Phoebe Bridgers has finally made her Saturday Night Live debut last night. She brought much-needed excitement a very “meh” episode, showing her performance of “I Know The End” by smashing her guitar. Cue what older Gen Xers, boomers and gearheads on Twitter who are very confused why she had to ruin a perfectly beautiful guitar.
After Jason Isbell tweeted in her defense – “That was like a $ 85 guitar she smashed, come on guys” – the riders explained this very stupid controversy by saying she actually got Danelectro’s blessing. All Danelectro was concerned about was that the guitar is pretty damn hard to break. That’s why it took forever for it to get damaged (big selling point in case someone wants to buy a Danelectro).
When fellow musician Kathleen Edwards tweeted half-jokingly saying it was the monitor she was upset about for being ‘so nice’, Bridgers also revealed that Danelectro had made her a fake monitor break.

So yes, the monitor fake, Danelectro is happy with their guitar becoming the Twitter topic of the day, and Phoebe Bridgers is now even more famous. And if you’re still mad about Bridgers’ guitar playing, just wait until you see what Bright Eyes did The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson back in 2005.
