   The True name for the condition is Deterioration.

   At least she made it a long way.

   For specific details, I have resorted to it, but I also use chord charts,   
   and listening to recordings and midi files which can be slowed down,   
   whatever works best ;)

   I'm sure that's entirely possible but I was thinking of having duplicates   
   made, pre battle damaged, for sale for very big bucks ;)   
   Because I'm sure they'd sell, but who'd think that a mere plectrum, at least   
   that's the claim, could do such damage to a guitar, unless he was picking it   
   with a wood carving gouge, because that's what the damage looks like ;)   
      
   It's just like with deliberately and/or pre ripped high priced jeans.

   Oh, I thought you already played one, if not, that's probably the first   
   thing to do.

   Guess you'd just have to paint very carefully around the logo, meanwhile,   
   some knockoff from China could  come out ;)

   Yeah, I know, along with Stupid, and sex...they can have it - I prefer   
   something more dignified.

   It's 40 years for me in this old dump, which is also too small.

   If you use it or are planning to, might  as well keep it....yeah, I   
   'collect' things too ;)

   That's cool, you've practically got a bike shop!

   If I had bikes and parts for them like that, I'd keep them too...but alas,   
   I've only got the only 3 bikes I've ever owned so far, a classic Nottingham   
   made Raleigh Sports 3 speed, a Belgium made Superia mixte 10 speed, both   
   rotting in my garage, and my most recent, customized 21 speed Huffy   
   Hawthorne hard tail, in my kitchen.
