No insurance? I can't believe he would not have insurance.

Crappy way for such a devastating fire to start. We had one a week ago started from idiots burning out a car.

Indeed! Very strange especially considering the guitars he would of had in his house?

For sure.

And I was reading a comment saying insurance doesn't cover everything. Well, yes it does and should. That's the whole point of insurance, to cover everything in case something happens.

It's like idiots going overseas with no insurance, having an accident and crying for help. Geez, use your brain!

In this country, you are only required to have insurance if you are carrying a mortgage. It is a requirement of the mortgage company.

That's the same here, you need insurance to cover if a bank or something has an interest in your house, but that's only for the building, not the contents. You can totally have one, the other, both or none, depending on your circumstances.

We had a bad fire 15 years ago and it revealed the people who owned their house but didn't insure it.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but just saw this. Hope Wayne is doing ok. I was a huge Charvel (and Jackson) guitar fan, and emailed him several years back. He was kind enough to sign a couple of classic Charvel advertisements I’d printed out and mailed them back to me with a nice note. They are framed and still hanging on my wall next to my Charvel Model 5. I will have to check up and see how things are going for him. Thanks for posting this.
