I have no idea what that means.

A "rig" is a collection of items used to play guitar. A "FROG" is a FInished Room Over the Garage.

Cool. Starting from owning the first three items how long did it to take to get to this size collection?

Thanks.

I'm guessing at least 15 years. Most of it in the last 5+ years since I retired.

Uunfortunately, I was playing several of the instruments finger style which I no longer can do. I suffered a nasty fall Thanksgiving of 2023 which severely damaged the middle and ring fingers of my right (picking hand). After two surgeries and 6 months of physical therapy, both fingers are unusable. I can play with a flat pick held between my index finger and thumb but finger picking is impossible.
