Members xStonr Posted May 10, 2010 Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 It's definitely a shame to have all these classic and vintage instruments beyond repair. My question is how can one of these musicians not have their valuable one of a kind insured? That makes no sense to me. It's not like they can't afford insurance.

My question is how can one of these musicians not have their valuable one of a kind insured? That makes no sense to me. It's not like they can't afford insurance. Insurance companies rarely offer policies that cover flood damage and a policy on an expensive instrument kept in a warehouse near a river would probably cost as much as the instrument is worth. Federal flood insurance is really only intended for middle-class homeowners and has relatively low caps that wouldn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 67mike Posted May 10, 2010 Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 I am sure they are insured++++++ so they most likely made a killing off the flood. {censored}...don't want those guitars????

Members MelloYello Posted May 10, 2010 Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 Poor Storage management. There was no need for this to have happened. What a shame. Gibson should offer a Custom Shop version of that LP with the P90's. What a nice looking guitar that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jumpwin Posted May 10, 2010 Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 I am genuinely sad about the flood. It's wrenching to see so much history just destroyed. Peoples pride and joy, their life long collections just washed away. Really got to feel for these guys. Imagine it was your irreplacable guitar collection sat at the bottom of the sludge and water. My heart goes out to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members d_dave_c Posted May 10, 2010 Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 I wonder why they made them wait before allowing them in.3 feet is not very deep and time is of the essence in these things. 3 feet of moving water is enough to wash a car away (2 feet is enough, actually). we're talking about the Cumberland River, not some dinky-ass creek. It's still pretty surreal. It's not just confined to Nashville, either. They've listed 42 counties as federal disaster areas. I drove around and looked at some different places last week, and there are a lot of people all over that are going to be piecing things back together for some time. D_carrol - sorry to hear about your gear. I had some stuff in the basement, which took in some water. Nothing got inundated, but I'm worried about the additional moisture and warping. We'll see.

Members lowbrow Posted May 10, 2010 Members Share Posted May 10, 2010 My heart goes out to everyone down there. Tragedy in so many ways, let alone the loss of life. Don't let the monday morning quarterbacking piss you off. Some people just can't grasp something like this until they've lived through it themselves.

No {censored}- This is Los Angeles a year ago.. Water main break, JUST missed my place, and when I spoke to other shop owners in the photo in the coming weeks, they all got hosed by insurance companies. More than a few still in litigation. Still mild compared to the wholesale raping of homeowners in New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
