Hey, TrogMeister - slow-but-steady-longtime viewer and subscriber here… I often watch vids of yours where you allude to instruments “not stored properly” and was hoping you could do a video where you could include everything you would consider important in what IS the “PROPER” way to store instruments… i’m positive you have touched on some of the important points here and there in various videos, but it would be helpful if you could include them all in one video. I have a small collection in Texas, and frequently worry that I’m not doing enough to take care of them properly. I am aware of some of the more obvious guidelines: avoid extreme and/or rapid temperature changes, and that humidity is a factor and (I try) to keep them in their cases. But could you expand on these with more full explanation and add to these examples with anything else pertinent? It would be greatly appreciated and I think informative to many viewers. Thanks!

Except for the beard and mustache that could easily have been Jeff Beck. I believe he had a strat that color. But I don't recall him ever sporting facial hair. I imagine that if Gibson would've done a body for the doritos guitar shaped like a chip that it may have come out looking a bit like a Greek instrument. If I had the disposable cash there's three guitars I would like to have maybe even for or more . One would be the Fool copy. Others would be Rocky and a reissue of the Rosewood Telecaster of George Harrison. Possibly a Toni Ioni Monkey. And definitely if I was able to the rosewood block SG that Trogley has.
