My favourite guitar is this broken little Chinese thing that lives in a cupboard in our office. Thought you guys might enjoy
The neck is totally screwed, (obviously) it's a classical guitar and whoever owned it put normal steel acoustic strings on it and broke the neck due to the tension. So anywhere between 8 and 12th fret, the strings contact the 12th fret and basically none of those work. Also it only has 4 tuning pegs, you're forced to tune it to the middle two and hope for the best. Of course "tune" here means "turn the pegs a bit until you give up" because they're not properly screwed into the headstock so only stay "in tune" for about 10 seconds. It has a 0th fret for some reason as well.
It sounds like total shit of course but I love playing it when I've got nothing to do for 10 minutes in the office. I have, you know, an actual Gibson and other nice things, but spend vastly more time playing this, naturally
Edit: happened to have the camera in the office and decided to take some pictures of it out of boredom. Forgot to get one of the whole guitar, apologies
