Haha! Yes.Is it yours?
It was built by a friend of mine who's a luthier and instructor out of Golden, CO. He worked with me step-by-step on the design and every detail. It's named Gracie, after my wife.

Nice! I had a late 90's 814CE for about 8 years. Great guitar, and sounded amazing plugged in!It's a 322ce 12-fret. It's a lot of fun to play. I like the sound & feel of the 12-fret. Although it'd be a lot more fun if I were better lol

Someone on here in the insurance business said you'd have to get an add on. Collectables are more complicated in MV so seems to make sense.I see a lot of people saying insurance will pay them out. I recall talking to my insurance agent about my collection and he said collections need extra coverage, so not sure how accurate it is to get money for your lost collection ?? But it's been awhile, so my memory might be off
I'm not sure what your laughing about, but that card seems to be worth upwards of $5000.Mike Trout?????

I feel I would be remiss without adding this note to this thread.

While it's nice to think you have time to grab something, a house fire doubles in size every 30 seconds. For scale, let's say you have a fire in a trash can. in 30 seconds its 2 trash cans in size. in the first minute, it is now 4 trash cans in size... basically a chair. 1:30 into the fire it's now a full couch in size, and by 2 minutes we are up to 2 couches. Very few people have ever held a bonfire that was as big as 2 couches, unless you've attended a large event like Burning Man. So think of the biggest bonfire you ever went to, and think of how close you could stand to the fire.
That was wood. Your couch, curtains, carpet, and electronics are made out of polyester, poly-based foam, and plastic... oil-based products. It burns much, much hotter.
But the fire isn't your problem. People rarely get killed by the fire. The smoke is the real killer. Fires generate highly poisonous gases, including carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide (created when insulation, carpets, clothing, and plastics burn). 1-3 breaths of this smoke will render you unconscious. It is cyanide.
...but wait, there's more!
Unlike your bonfire, the heat in a home cannot easily escape. The walls doors and ceiling reflect the heat back into the room. This heats up everything in the room simultaneously. In about 3 minutes, 30 seconds, the room experiences "flashover", where everything in the room reaches the ignition point at the same time. In other words, if it is in the room it will burst into flames, without direct flame contact.
A dead parent holding a dead baby, is a sad part of my job. Deaths that both could be avoided if the parent just left the child in the room (with their door closed). Let the firefighters, with their airpacks, do the work.
Of course, this is once the fire gets going. Fires usually start by smoldering. No actual flame, just the insulation on overheated wires smoldering, the pot left on the stove blackening the food, a cigarette scorching something it is in contact with. A smoke detector will alert you to the problem with plenty of time to avoid a fire.
Almost all deadly fires happen in homes with non-functioning smoke detectors. The leading cause for non-functioning detectors (other than not having smoke detectors) is dead batteries. Change your clocks, change your batteries. The batteries you remove may still be good, but we recommend 2x a year replacements. It's $8 a year, and the leading difference between life and death... and the loss of your chips. We just had a time change last weekend. Did you replace those batteries?
Do it now. It's much cheaper than an insurance rider.
Also, most smoke detectors are only good for 10 years. If you have lived in your house for 10+ years, you are probably not as protected as you think. If you are of the age/physical limitation where climbing a stool to change a battery/detector, call your local fire department. They will be happy to do it for you. I personally changed ~50 batteries last year, only 4 of them in my own house.
And yes, the storage room with my chips has a smoke detector.
