About seven months ago, I rescued my sister's acoustic guitar she never even tried to play and had for three or four years previous. It was wedged between a pile of books and her wall, covered in dirty clothes. It was depressing.
As can be imagined, it was not in the best of shape when I rescued it (urged on by my mother, actually) and I have spent a lot of time getting new strings for it, adjusting pegs, and various other maintenance.
I went through some difficult times and had to sell my electric guitar, so the acoustic I rescued is all I have to play right now. My sister was talking to me today, and I was telling her how I got the guitar all fixed up and sounding great...
Now she wants to take it from me and sell it. I have no other guitar. I have no money to get another guitar. And she didn't care that I had it at all until she found out it was in good playing shape.
It looks like I may end up being guitar-less for quite some time.
