Uh ...

This dumbass ex-friend of mine left his "amazing" Johnson guitar at my house a long time ago. The fact that he left it behind when he split town makes me think he wasn't quite as dumb as a I thought.

Now that I've pulled this (and a bunch of other junk) out of storage,
what should i do with it?

Open Mic Night and then SMASH it like PT?

Or is there ANYthing in the world i could do to "save" this POS?

I have a few guitars, but somehow NEVER owned a Fender ...
this thing LOOKS like a strat.

From what I remember it couldn't stay in tune for SHIT, and I can't remember the tone ... pretty sure it was unmemorable. lol.

I think I bought a 5 pack of strings last time I was at the shop, so I'll try restringing it later and see if it can even hold a tune.

Anyone know what to do with my buddy's johnson?

    Lol.
    Its just like this guy.

    I think i remember my buddy paying $85 for it new, in the early 2000's.

    It's REALLY nice!
    ;)

    Looks like the company is actually named AXL, and the "series" is Johnson.
    Also looks (to me) like it's discontinued.

    OOH.
    i have a RARE item!?!

    <SWEET>
