NGD New guitar/garbage day

[GoldenVulture]

A neighbour of mine recently passsed away. His partner has been cleaning out a lot of accumulated junk. She came across a guitar. She has no need for it and wondered who she could give it to. She couldn't think of any one but another woman , helping her do the cleaning up , suggested me. So it landed on my back porch.

Any way here it is.

It's a quality item.


Note the placing of the bridge and the string spread.

The fret board is actually wider than the neck.




Basically it's a nylon string style acoustic with steel strings on it.
This bends/warps the top where the bridge is glued on.
The neck bows away from the guitar so there is massive fretting out on it. The High E is unplayable for the first octave and the rest of the strings aren't doing much from the nut to around the fifth fret or more.

IT's a quality instrument and pretty much unplayable or fixable.

I'm not sure whether to use it as a cricket bat, make a bonfire out of it , or give it to some one to hang on their wall.

Target practice - a sawn off shotgun should do the trick nicely

You drive a hard bargain .... I'll give you three thousand, and not a penny more (that has to include the box btw).

Could you call this guitar a feral animal?
If so, I may be able to do that.

I ppromised myself I wouldn't haggle over this beauty, but ...

OK, 4500 dollars for the guitar and the box.

You see a crappy acoustic.

I see a hamster interrogation/torture chamber.

We WILL find out why they're the rodent of choice for manly butt adventures.

Now dddon't get too excited. I still haven't decided whether to murder it or not. I thought ten thousand was very reasonable so I offer you a once only! Dddon't forget this is a unique one off only deal. it's probably from a very exclusive production run. have a look in the sound hole, SEE ... 2 Number effin 2. There's only been one before it.
2999.99 and a half penny.

I've read about these - they are an excellent choice for students and professionals.

Hard to be certain when they're a projectile rocketing out of a fleshy methane-powered canon.

You know this one, do you?

Why do you wrap tape around hamsters?

Okay, I'll pay 6,800 dollars and throw in a Vox Pathfinder amp, a couple of BKP picks, a vintage Boss CE-2 (MIJ), a block of flats and Tasmania.

[TheLivingDead]

Godspeed!

I give up, do you want it or don't you?

I can print out a certificate of authenticity if you want.
And a fake Segovia signature.
but I'm not letting it go for anything less than the free cardboard box; and I will throw in the the the guitar.
