See if any of these apply.
Some are hilarious, some are oh sooooo true.

Haha, have dealt with most of those, and a few they didn't list. At the last Crash Pad show, broke a string on #1 guitar on first song, went to #2 but tuner suddenly stopped working and couldn't get it back in tune to save my life, forcing me to use third guitar (fortunately in tune out of the case) only 4 songs in.
And people wonder why I bring 3 guitars for a 45-minute set. As they require at NASA, there must be "redundancy in ALL systems." Meaning I literally have a spare (sometime multiple ones) of just about everything.
At our First Things First concert Sunday night had a new one happen-- the tightening collar around the pickup toggle on my Les Paul loosened, and the switch turned a half turn so that it was upside down, so that what should've been "neck" was "bridge" and vice-versa.
Gotta love live performances.

Bad cords and dead batteries!!!! Always!!! I do have extra bridge pins though... of course they don't match the ones in there now.:D
