The rest of the story I didn't mention.It didn't only not have any strings on it it was filthy and the bridge on the guitar body was just hanging by a thread of glue.Well when I walked in the house and proudly told my wife what I had picked up and when she found out that I'd spent $250.00 for it she bkew a fuse and for a couple of days she gave me the cold shoulder.She is starting to realize there is a value in this pile of junk as she chose to call it.
