    The number is closer to 1800 guitars lost. They're still not back up and running yet. The custom shop is open and was not flooded.

    Man, that is some staggering numbers. What becomes of the guitars? Totally ruined or will they push them off like they did with flooded cars?

    Yes, a must read, if you are interested in crying... Especially the part with the guy that had his shop bought out from under him via eminent domain by the city of Nashville (all you Hendrix fans, take note!). Too bad all the money in the world can't bring back the historical instruments that were damaged/destroyed.

    Truly sad.
