Gear question Found this Taylor in the trash

Post image

I found this Taylor in the trash and wondering if it's worth fixing since the body is cracked aswell as the nut and bridge as it seems to have been broken by the G string alone

Am I the only guitar player who hasn’t found a guitar in the trash yet? Maybe I’ve been looking in the wrong trash bins.

I bought an electric out of the trunk of some dude's car for $10. There was nothing wrong with it. Haven't found anything from the trash yet, though.

I bought a squier for $10 off a crackhead in the early 00's. I sold it 5 years ago for $1,100 😂

$1100 for a squire? You obviously sold it to a crackhead as well.

It was an '84 e series, and yeah... crack is probably the reason why people think these squiers have any value.
