Acoustic Guitar Decay And Warping

Waroed Guitars

Jesse Greist has been talking about how to properly care for your instruments. Here's an example of what could happen when you don't. Although we've definitely seen much worse -- usually the result of purposeful mistreatment -- this acoustic guitar is in bad shape.

It's warped in a few places, and the strings are several years old. Still, this donated guitar sees a lot of use in Jesse's music classes. Check out what Jesse needs a spoon for in this video.
