I'll try some photos of my $100 swap guitar. but first some history. My friend bought it from his friend for $100. His friend was going to pawn it. Neither knew what the signature was. I recognized the signature, assumed the guitar was a fake, but it had a nice playing feel and the electronics all worked. My friend needs some home remodel parts, a sump pump and miscellaneous stuff. We made a cash free swap. I went to restring it and found the low e had been super glued into the bridge, there was super glue all over the guitar top, and the tuning pegs had been replaced with unbranded string lock tuners. In addition, the E B G strings were wrapped around the pegs opposite of every other guitar I have ever messed with. No real guitar people involved up to this point. I am in the process of building my first acoustic guitar, and have a solid walnut slab drying to use as the body of my first electric (Les Paul shaped), So, once you all see the pics and confirm what I have is what we all think it is, it becomes a great test bed for my self-guided luthier training. Here's my pics.

Truly the wording was in jest. FYI, I intend to strip the back of the headstock the next time I change strings and re-finish the headstock of the
Are you uploading them to a 3rd party like imgur and then posting the link?
beat me to it.
lower horn too long. body out of shape. knob & toggle positions not in the right place.
amazingly it has the correct screw holes before the tuners were replaced.
bad signature. bracket before '065'?
headstock shape is really close, but still off.
TRC hole off center.

Is it a $100 guitar? Yup.
Did you get a fair trade?
That depends on how much fun it is to play.

The back of the headstock is hilarious. I haven't seen a knock-off so, um, creative?
But as a swap for some stuff you didn't need, I think you'll get your value out of it as a test subject for practicing fret work, finish work, or whatever, without worry of screwing it up.

This is your chance to make any modification that your heart can dream up.
From replacing parts or refinishing to adding a urinal or sawing it in half, anything you can think of to do to it would improve it.
