I owned a guitar ( a cheap one) as teenager and I broke the neck one night when I sat on it because I had been drinking. I was quite upset with myself and wanted to try to fix it. I knew nothing about fixing guitars but I liked to take things apart to see how they work and then was often able to fix things. I could not fix my guitar though. I kept it for a long time after that. I came across a guitar shop and went in and asked about fixing guitars. I told the shopkeeper that I had taken the guitar apart to try to fix it. He laughed at me and said that is like me taking the engine out of a car because it is not working. I know nothing about cars he said laughing again. I said thank you and left the shop somewhat sheepishly. The guitar was thrown away. I did buy another one to use for singing with my class at school. I would love to build a guitar in my retirement which is now very close.
