That's what this is. It's when a musician is so broke that they choose to sell their instrument so they can use that cash to buy food.

Really though... evidence? :bonkhead:

Why you spoil the fun?

I dunno, man. I've eaten a pretty good number of drums in my day. They're hard to NOT eat... way tastier than most people give them credit for.

Guitars, however, and chewy and have no flavor. Simply terrible.

You've probably only had made in America guitars. They're awful, it's just slathered with lard and covered in varnish. Bleh. European guitars, however, are fantastic and have a wide range of flavours. You should try one out sometime.

I guess if you use gut strings you could turn them into some sort of soup?

I heard a musician did that and suffered serverely with knots in his stomache.
