L5Larry Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 My L-5 is the most expensive guitar I ever bought. I'm almost ashamed to say what it cost (10 years ago), so I won't. Let's just say I could have had a VERY nice used car instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmiJAMM Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Has anyone had any or all of their guitars insured? Do you need a certificate of appraisal first? How does it work. Can they they be insured against loss, damage, and theft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Mine are insured...and let me tell you, it literally costs me nothing a year to insure them...$60. Don't ask how because I literally don't know myself. I photocopied all my receipts, handed them over along with pictures and they said $60/year. I cant comprehend that. Neither can I...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say I could have had a VERY nice used car instead.[/quote'] Yeah but according to Gibson this guitar will outlive you. Most cars won´t. My oldest guitar is 30 years old (Gibson "The SG"), the Les Paul in my avatar is 24. I don´t know anyone personally driving a car of that age. Highest price I ever payed for a guitar was 2450.- Euros for the Angus Young Signature SG. Back then the Euro was 1:1 to the dollar. A lot of money, but the guitar is worth it to me. No extra insurance. The insurance guy told me that it is covered by the insurance for household goods in general that I have.

Some will put it under your home owners policy or they may issue a seperate "collectables" or "addidtional coverage" policy. It will depend on how likely it is that each guitar can be replaced. If you have a guitar that was a custom run and say only 30 were made it could be considerd impossible to replace so it will have to go under a seperate "collectable" policy and that can get very expensive.

Geff Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 In relative terms, it was probably the Washburn I bought in the late 80's for a little over 200 UK pounds(new but on sale). I couldnt play that one either, I guess I will never learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
