I think you were meant to own that guitar, and it's good that she's back with you.
I received a guitar with a broken neck once...USPS delivered it STANDING ON IT's HEAD in the box, because the bottom of the box was all bent up. I guess they thought the other end looked better, so they started carrying it that way. I blame two things: The seller putting it into a loose fitting case, and not packing it well enough...and the fact that NOWHERE on the box did it indicate anything Fragile or THIS SIDE UP^
Dumbass. I wanted the guitar so much, I had him pay for the repairs and I still have it now
