The Guitar - Introduction

Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful Royal Guitar (RG) in the faraway land of Guitar Shop.



She knew that she was something special, because the pretty label as seen through her sound hole said so.



One day, a young man stumbled into Guitar Shop and promptly fell in love with RG.

After much time (and cash) spent courting RG, the man took her home and placed her on a pedestal.

And they lived happily ever after.

Or she thought so anyhow.

What little pleasure she could offer soon became insignificant to the hot-blooded man's insatiable appetite for newer (and younger) conquests.

So there in the dusty corner RG remained - alone, aloof, collecting layers of dust, accompanied by silverfish and woodworms trying to gnaw their way into her high-grade grain.

She is in really bad shape. Her finger board is riddled with tiny holes made by those annoying worms. Her poor body warped several times over throughout the years. And her tarnished strings amazingly manages to warble out an almost unrecognisable tune or two.

Oh, how knobbly and yellow her pegs have become! RG weeps quietly in the corner.
