Pwned

A second rate musician acquires a pawn shop guitar for free, then learns the price he must pay for taking it.

When Greg goes to the pawn shop, to get his cheap, well worn guitar out of hock, the shop owner gives him the wrong guitar. And it’s a beauty. Greg caves to taking the beauty off the shop owner’s hands for free, only to find that it releases a djinn when he stroke it. And she’s a beauty too, willing to grant whatever wish he desires…until she learns about Greg's girlfriend…
