This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Beat up old guitar in need of refurbishment:
The obsession I have with Trigger...
I love that Willie, a very rich man, still plays THIS guitar and only this guitar. Like, you go to concerts and there's a guitar tech grabbing different instruments off stage, swapping them out. But ol' Willie just up there with bus up Trigger looking like she's about to collapse into splinters. But she produces such a unique sound that no other guitar can match.
The lead singer from Cake has one of the worst sounding guitar tones you'll ever hear, but it's perfect in the context of their songs. 'Fixing' it to make it sound good would ruin it. https://youtu.be/tEvcj6Nns_Y
Any tone in existence can be achieved with repaired and properly functioning equipment by a competent musician, avoiding repair because they don't know how to do that is embarassing
This guitar has lived a full life. It even has its own wikipedia page.

There's a video of it getting "repaired" out there somewhere.
There's an entire section of the article titled "maintenance", he apparently does get it regularly repaired
