Guitar, lesson books, CD, accessories (Acton W3)
Gifted
It's a small (3/4? Maybe half size) guitar, with stand, two beginners lesson books, a guitar case, strap, pick, tuning pipe, and a lessons CD. It's not the best by any stretch, but in good general condition*. I imagine it'd be a great 'starter' to see if a child/young person might take to learning the guitar, on the assumption they'd upgrade fairly soon once they get into learning. That was why I got it - to see if I liked it. It's been a few years since I played it - too busy, other projects - and I was forced to start learning guitar as a kid, which I hated then, so I don't know why I tried guitar again! * There are a few scratches on the guitar paint/varnish but nothing major. I have made some minor annotations in one of the books - see photo for example - but only on 3 pages and it doesn't hinder reading the notes (might even help). Before I learned how to change strings properly, the first time I did it, I took all the strings off at once (nooooooo!). You're not supposed to do this due to need to retain tension through the head/neck/body. Doesn't seem to have hurt it, though. The only substantive issue is that, when I was playing it regularly, the G string seemed to get loose very quickly (stop sniggering!). Someone who knows more about guitar keys might know how to fix, but it just meant that I'd give it a quick tune up before I sat down to practice.

1m x 1m canvas - for blanking/practice, or a project (Acton W3)
When I was less chronically ill and disabled, I had hobbies. They included painting. For years, I've had to prioritise work and keeping home, not being well enough or having the space for painting. I started an abstract 'sleeping Buddha', but I'll never finish it. If someone wants a canvas to white out and use for practice (great for an A'level art student) or, of you feel like it, a project to finish what I started (?!), you're welcome to it.

Old-school Batman comic book canvas print (Acton W3)
Gifted
66cm X 91cm canvas print. Few very minor scratches on the edges, but either part of charm or could touch up with paint or felt tip. Will give it a thorough dusting if anyone wants it.
