  1. Entirely new to this site, wondered if anyone could help me. I've been playing daily for about 5 years (since age 15), never really messed with any of the hardware on any of the guitars I've owned, and I don't have much other than basic knowledge of anything more than playing. So, my brothers buddy brought this guitar to me. It appears to me to have been custom made by whoever owned it (owner went to prison I guess, house got sold and guitar given away to neighbor). There is a decent gap between the neck and the neck pocket, more at the top than the bottom. It does not tune properly, for example I can tune it at the fifth fret and a power chord will sound awful. I can tune each string with the next to an open chord with one finger, and to strum a full open chord sounds awful, completely off. The high e string slips off of the nut, no matter what i do it wont stay. Also, I have no clue how to tell what the pickups are. The thing was filthy and the case was desintegrating, its obviously been sitting around for quite a while. I just want to know if making it tune correctly and fixing the but are simple enough to perform, and how much its worth. I'm sure somebody can help me!
