Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it.

They alone are insured for 7 figures, against fire, theft, flood, etc... The insurance company had no problem with that figure.

The cars are obviously worth much more and insured for more. That's just the guitars and related items.

They're such transient items that they'd make good fodder for insurance fraud. Insurance has pictures of quite a few of them and video tape of a walk-through once every couple of years. They don't have the serial numbers for most of them. They could disappear into the market pretty easily and nobody would be the wiser, and I could collect the insurance money!

However...

I don't want the insurance money. I want the gear. If I had the insurance money, I'd have to put the fucking effort into buying all the damned kit all over again! Fuck that! I spent YEARS amassing my collection!

You don't need the money so I think you're better off with the gear, though it doesn't do much good sitting in storage forever

Also, there's a Hungarian water polo player whose name is (I'm not sure how to spell it) "Beotch" - as in how someone will say "bitch" if they're not allowed to say that word or if they're trying to be less vulgar. The dude's literally a Beotch.

This amuses me.

Also, I have watched so much volleyball that I now know some of the player's names - like regular volleyball. The referees fucked the US beach volleyball team pretty early on. Regular volleyball is doing just fine and the US is now in the finals.

I own too many guitars.

But, many of them are special. Hell, they're all special to me.

I own more than I can possibly justify. If I need to replicate a guitar tone, I have the means to do so.

They do get played, more or less. They're all maintained and in peak condition for that particular guitar. I have some really worn out models, so they're in the best shape that they can be in. I have my 'favorite' Les Paul that's as beat up as Willie Nelson's Trigger! It's got worn out spots that go at least halfway through. That one doesn't get played anymore. It has thousands of hours of hard playing in it and kinda has its own tone. It doesn't have quite the sustain, either.
