The news article is dated May 2nd of this year?
Re: Rickenbackers stolen from Willie's American Guitars
Perhaps they just made the serial numbers public? In any case, it's good to have them here since we can list the Ricks as stolen in The Register...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

That is correct Ben... The info was posted to a number of other guitar forums, but none connected to Rickenbackers, which is odd considering the number stolen...RIC_FACTORY wrote:The news article is dated May 2nd of this year?
I added them all to the Register as stolen instruments, except the DG 620 which is in already as an abandoned entry.. If Peter or Gil can mark that one as stolen as well...
It was clearly a professional heist - they cleared out a local Taylor dealer of 40 guitars the same night...

At least they scored with the guitars from Willie's.

(apologies to Taylor fans....)

The thieves were probably planning to trade them in for new E-Meters.Ontario_RIC_fan wrote:It was clearly a professional heist - they cleared out a local Taylor dealer of 40 guitars the same night...
