Don't judge me...
...before you've read this

This is my first guitar which I got as a christmas present in 1997. I learned to play it but this year, it broke. Not because of a particular accident, it just couldn't hold the tension of the strings anymore. It was pretty used by this time, so I took my time to sand it and screwed it together again, I even used small wooden blocks which I glued on inside and then drove the screws in them so it would hold better. Afterwards I painted it, varnished it and left it to dry for a whole week. Then I put on the strings and tuned it up, but the strings were too strong and ripped off everything I had made until then (see bottom of the picture). Sadly, this christmas will be the first one since 1998 that I can't use it to play on. I will buy a new one as soon as I'm back from England, and this deviation is dedicated to my first guitar and the fun I had with it.

Rest in peace
