Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI just found out I'm a thousandaire Ts9 Tube screamer original guitar pedals
No bragging just humor I kind of suspected it but never confirmed the actual monetary value of my empire. Of collecting Japan guitars for years and pedals and amps not all Japanese. My point is yea Ive always been fan of fender japan or Greco strats epiphone elitist tokai Les Pauls.
Our son was surfing reverb. Com and he turned his lap top around as we sat at the kitchen bar. Getting ready to play nickel dime poker his brothers and I , and said look at this dad. Ts9 tube screamers original guitar pedals. Price now $400-$800 I probably bought them $20 We have four why do we have 4. Not sure just collecting over three and half decades. Then he was pricing some epiphone elitist and my tokai Les Paul reborn. Values Through the roof for What I paid.
I then said to the boys as my wife and mother in law were in kitchen as well. Fellas dont let your mom know. After 34 years of marriage Im gonna need her to sign a pre nuptial agreement to protect my empire of wealth.
then I added wow just think of our fishing gear also . Daiwa shimano reels definitely were big time thousandaire fellas. Welcome to capitalism even though dad is a diehard union socialist.

(25,816 posts)I have two Martin acoustics, one from 1939, that are quite nice.
But about 20 years ago I bought an Ibanez strat, called the lawsuit strat.
The guy I bought it from said--You'll like it more than the Gibson.
And I did. Lighter and great action and sound. Well, my son's (the S.F. kid) high school
rock band got a gig in Tucson and he played a Squire. I said -Do you have a back up?
He said no, so I said take the Ibanez. Like a dazed teenager after the show, he left it
there. When I found out a few days later, I called the place and they said they had never seen
anything. He still owes me.
