If I had a big old pile of money to spend on anything I wanted I am sure I would have a lot more pedals and guitars and other musical equipment as well as more cars!
That's pretty much what happened. I was like a fat kid with a $20 bill in a candy store.
I don't even know how much I've spent on guitars and related items. I haven't got a clue.
You probably don't want to know
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!
