"Here's the list with pix and s/n 's:"
This file/list is SUPER HUGE, about 66 MB.
Also, it is a PAGES file.
How are we supposed to open it? |

It's apparently a ios iworks file. On windoze, I downloaded by first clicking link; it told me file was too large to open and gave me a download link. I downloade, scanned file for malware, changed file type to .zip, and extracted. Inside the Index directory there are a bunch of .iwa (iworks) files, but inside the Data directory are a bunch of .jpg files. I assume serial numbers and other info are in the .iwa files, but I'm not gonna take the time to get software to open them.
The size is mostly due to the .jpg files, which are 64.9 of the 65.1 MB in the extracted directory. This isn't a really big download for a reasonable network connection.
I think it's a little strange that they would pick such an obscure platform to disseminate this information. jpgs with html index file(s) or pdf would make a lot more sense if they really wanna get the word out, IMO. |

PAGES is a Mac program similar to WORD. Since I have a Mac it downloaded as a zip file then opened no problem. I agree that a format viewable on all systems would be in their best interest.
He says he's musician not a hoarder but I have mixed feelings about that.
200 Vintage Guitars, c'mon... Still heartbreaking. |

WOW! Keeping vintage guitars in storage units with no temperature and/or humidity control... What a great idea! How come I didn't think of that!
