followup on last post since people didn't believe it was real
it is real, it wasn't ragebait (i've never owned a guitar before and have no idea what the fuck it's supposed to look like), no pencil in the strings or nothing. I guess now it seems obvious but i'm a little oblivious sometimes. it's just a guitar that was found in the trash that I decided to refurbish, I guess maybe not.
any further advice, let me know. does this seem fixable or should I just buy a one that actually works? it's not worth repair costs, so if it's anything that can't be done DIY, that doesn’t really matter to me. thanks :P
