Hey guys, it's been awhile since I last posted...because we had a house fire and lost about 70% of everything to either the fire or smoke damage.
Including my music room...sniffle, sniffle.

I'm not upset, we all got out safely and that's what matters...BUT my guitar collection went up in flames. I had my Axis SS for only a friggin' week!!!

So I want all of you to go give your guitars and big smooch and be thankful you still got 'em...as for me, I get to go guitar shopping all over again.

P.S. Make sure your smoke detectors are working properly :)

Really glad that you and your fam are all safe though - and make sure you make the most of being able to go shopping again :)

Thanks guys. I ALMOST went back in for the guitars...seriously. We went across the street to my neighbors and once I had everyone safe I went back and damn near went back in to salvage whatever I could.
The fire started in the bathroom (bath fan) next to the music room so I knew there wouldn't be much left.
Plus, my wife would have killed me if I grabbed my Axis instead of the cat. :)

Hey Surrealforeal.

I'm currently negotiating with Scham for his SUB1. If it gets you playing an EBMM again, and if the deal goes down then you're more than welcome to take that guitar on the way past to me to get you playing again.

I'm glad you and your family are safe.

OMG! Glad you and your family are OK. Sucks that you lost your guitars, at least you can hopefully have fun guitar shopping.

BTW... is Lucious Luke?

As long as noone was hurt, that's all that really matters. The rest of it, is just stuff.
