Location: CA | Not mine, and didn't seem appropriate to post in 'for sale.' Just thought you guys might be interested to see one of the most, um, "used" guitars out there. The title of this post is obviously a joke, but seriously, what kind of strumming or pick would cause this? Label appears to be missing, but I'm thinking this is not a Custom Legend, which had more bling even back in '78, didn't they? Maybe a Legend. But wow, looks like the guy was driving railroad spikes with it.

Location: Parkersburg, WV | I have to wonder why someone would re-string the guitar through the body instead of the back of the bridge. Strange. |

| It's not any worse looking than Willie Nelson's Trigger but I bet it doesn't sound as good. |

It looks like the part of the bridge that would normally restrain the ball-ends broke off and was re-glued.

Distressed guitars are all the rage right now with the manufacturers... LOL! |

Yeah, I remember buying Used Jeans 3/$1 at Goodwill until they became "Fashionable".
