Where can i find the price list? I know the list price from 1990 when I bought it (NOK 17.000 / USD 3400 with todays currency), but knowing the insurance company they'll see the new price and purchase year and offer me half a bag of chips for the guitar. No way I'll let them rip me off on this guitar...

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I`m sad sad sad for you man!!

 

I'd have to guess a minty graphic would be around $1500-1800 or so these days, but that's just a guess. Someone who spends a lot of time on auction sites might have a better idea. Maybe Rich will pop in and give his opinion.

 

I bought my US Custom (Music of the sphere). for £400 (around $800) in players condition...so in mint condition I would guess around $1000-1200.

 

Ok, thanks. But what's your estimate for new price in 1990 (in the US) so I can compare?

 

I'm sorry for your loss, man!
That's the reason my beloved J-Custom is insured in €3500! (There is one in a music store in the neighbour town listed as €3200.)

 

Sorry to hear that.

 

Shocking news today. I was alowed into the flat with people from the insurance company to see if it was anything left. As we were going through the bedroom I was desperate to see if I could find the remains of my beloved guitar. I knew I had it in the flightcase under the bed, so as we went in I couldn't see **** because of the darkness. We looked around the frame of the bed where it was nothing but ashes and then I saw a big black square case on the floor. The flight case was sticky from parts of it being melted but it was whole. I got it out and put it on the floor and prepared for the worst... The locks opened without any trouble and as i opened it I saw the guitar was spotless. No visible damage at all!
They'll bring it to a guitar tech for a check-up, but hopefully my baby has defied the odds of a devastating fire and survived unharmed.

 

thank GOD for flight cases!
glad to hear you did not lose her.

 

OMG!!! I just felt a wuge shiver down my spine!!! :lol:
Man... that only happens once in a lifetime! I am really happy for you and your baby!

Make them send it over to Rich!

 

Awesome news!

When you get it back, play it's nut off.

Rock on!

 

Wow!

That's so great news!

Someone was looking over you...

 

Definitely, that guitar has a guardian angel!

 

8O 8O 8O

The guitar they couldn't kill!!!!!!!!!! Very scarey!!!! Sleep with one eye open from now on!!! :lol:

Great to hear a happy ending

 

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DEMAND THOUSENS OF PICS OF YOUR SURVIVER!!!

 

Looks like your guitar rolled a 20 on its save...

 

Did anyone aside from me understand this?

 

Wow, amazing and very cool story. I hope no warping occurs from the extreme heat it was exposed to. The Ibanez Undead...

 

haha great story, im so glad necro survived ;O)

 

:lol: Not a clue...

 

If the finish and plastics aren't damaged, odds are that it's all ok.

Let's cross our fingers that no warping occured. I bet it hasn't!

 

Obviously the Necromancer in the castle has lived up to his name. Undead, and still kicking azz.... grats on the save! (And yes I understood the roll of 20 on the saving throw - I. M. Geek.)

 

(And yes I understood the roll of 20 on the saving throw - I. M. Geek.)

Same here, was it a natural 20?

 

Goddamn, you must be glad you bought that flight case. :lol:

Please post up pics after the fact. Hell, the rapid drying from all the heat may even make her sound better.

 

A touching story.

Sorry to hear you had that fire anyway man. I'd be absolutely crushed if that happened to me. Mostly cos of the computer, it's got stuff on it I'll never be able to retrieve again. I do have a portable hard drive but if I were out of the house that'd probably perish in the fire...

 

put it in an urn

 

Why? It survived unharmed!

 

lets see some pictures of the wreckage!

 

quite ironic a necromancer guitar survives a fire, 'does what it says on the tin' i guess

yeah lets see those pics (well unless camera melted in fire).

Oh and cant remember who posted about portable hard drive pc losing data....back up your hard drive to dvd-r discs!!! they cost pennies to do and doesnt take long

though if you have a fire youd loose them too lol but yeah in case of corrupted HD's that do happen avoid losing precious files photos etc , get them backed up

I think your thinking of a Lich, a Necromancer is one who can control the undead and communicate with the dead, but usually is powerless over its own mortality.
