OP has had this guitar for most of her life now. Yeah it looks like it has been used a lot, because it has.
It sounds and plays like how it's supposed to.
I'm not entering my guitar into any beauty pageants.

The frets are still there. I held the guitar in bright sunlight for the photo so some things seem off I think.

I haven't been as active as I used to be.🤷♀️
My current strings absolutely refuse to wear through though, so as long as they don't break I'll keep using them.

Lol no, if only my strings were that durable. The current ones have been on there for some years though and they'll go on for a bit longer. I just took them off for cleaning.

I appreciate your concern for my guitar. Due to the lighting in the photo it looks worse than it is in reality. The guitar is fine, it's been at my side for a long time and it will be for many years to come I reckon.

I did clean it occasionally, just no deep scrubbing. And the lighting makes it look dramatically filthy.
In reality the wood is dark brown/nearly black and you'd have to get really close to see anything on the neck.

I try to avoid spending too much time with minors.

Hahaha that's the best way to learn though.
I don't have much experience with acid, but amphetamines with something like MDMA made me motivated enough so now I can play the theme music for Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Amélie.🤷♀️

Yes, with plenty of finger grease.

Yeah, but mostly dusting and superficial cleaning. I'm going for a decent clean now I've taken the strings off.

Good point, it does need oil. First I need to find a proper brush to scrub it clean though.

They're soft like a baby's bottom.
I did get a gnarly blister once from practicing a guitar solo for hours on an electric guitar. But while playing acoustic I'm more worried about my hand cramping than fucking up my fingers.

Strings can wear out and break, I'm not ready to make a financial commitment like that to some random hobby.

Who needs Stairway to Heaven when we have Wonderwall? Or the first few bars from Nothing Else Matters when I'm feeling particularly metal.
