Strange stuff inside your guitar.
I find all manner of strange objects inside guitars that stop by the shop. Usually it's a pick (or two or three!) or a ball end from a broken string. There is also a tradition of intentionally adding something, usually a rattle from a rattlesnake,for extra "mojo". I recall seeing what looked like a dollar bill bouncing around inside an acoustic guitar. Further inspection revealed a novelty million dollar bill. When I asked the customer why,he replied "you know,just in case." Hmm.. Kids also seem to enjoy storing stuff inside mommy or daddy's guitar. This recent acoustic wins the prize in that category!
