I might have to hurt a bitch

i think it's a wise idea to get an investment to generate income. i can't imagine insurance would have a deductible that would be worth a claim on something like this, but it's sensible to have it in case someone doesn't come back with your gear. maybe get a contract drawn up that holds the client responsible for any damages on top of the rental fee, too, though.

Deposits for the value of the guitar are your best insurance, returned upon inspection or after repair costs are deducted. This way you are self insured and don't have to deal with a deductible.
