Yeah, if you just smash it, it's about the smashing, when you use a tool, the focus shifts to the tool, and a regular shop hammer is just... bland in a way a knife and fork aren't.
He looks old enough to remember them bands from the 60s and 70s, now THEY knew how to smash a guitar (it has been too long and I am not looking up which band(s) did it hehe)
I'll have Taylor Swift sign a guitar, a harmless little guitar! And then, I'll put that guitar in a box, and then I'll put that box inside of another box, then I'll auction that box to myself and when I win it...
AHAHA! I'LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!
It's brilliant brilliant brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!
