This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It can't go back to a state of not having been fucked with by someone else. That's literally impossible.
To give you an analogy, it would be like giving up your car because some guy changed the lightbulbs in your headlights. That is literally reversible.
And if the patina is now shine? and the scratches are now filled with wood glue under a glued on pick guard? and the peg that came off that old banjo they found in the middle of a gig 20 years ago has been replaced with a brand new set. And the notch on the edging where steve's girlfriend slammed a nazi in the face at the same party where sabrina fucked that idiot from the ska band and got pregnant?
You are woefully unimaginative if you think everything can be reversed.
You watched too many tik toks and evidently never had a guitar looked by a tech: 200$ is gonna get you at best a couple hours of work and a new set of strings.
Anything else is just an articulate fantasy to hide the fact you got rage baited by a 4chan post like a noob.
I have never watched a tiktok. And you have no idea what the quality of the luthier in question was so your guardrails around pricing are worthless.
Regardless. My point stands. And apparently went over your head. Let's try again with fewer words:
"Yes, there are things that can be done to a guitar that you can not reverse."
That's it. That's all.
