Guys and Gals,
Someone stole all my guitars last night. My Rickenbacker 325c58MG (serial # 0307124), Tokai j-160e wannabe, Johnson resonator, MIM Red Stratocaster, Fender Catalina Black, Korean Natural Epiphone Casino, Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Amp, and Mackie PA from my home studio.
I know it has got to be someone who knows me. I just want to throw up.
All in the San Antonio, Texas area.
Help me find my guitars and nab these jerks!
Thanks,
Joepee

Damn, Joe. This is terrible. Keep watch on the pawn shops, man.
Don't you have a C63 12-string too...?

Peter Buck's Rick was just stolen off the stage in Helsinki. I guess you're in good company, sorry to say...

That's it, I'm locking my TP 660/12 away in the storage closet. No-one's gonna stop me. This is no joke, either!
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Joe. Hope things work out for ya.

Thank you, everyone.
And no collection is pathetic.
I feel all these guitars are connected to me deeply.
We all know which guitar we go for when we want an acoustic, a nasty lead, a clean finger-pick, a neck pickup or a a bridge. These were all a slow year-to-year collection of guitars I could afford to give me the sounds I wanted when jamming or recording.
Pieces of me have been stripped from my soul.
It is difficult to think how little they mean in other's hands. Most I replaced with different pickups, Kent Armstrongs in my Casino, a Bigsby on My 325c58, they were all a part of me.
I'm sick.

Sorry about your loss,
Earlier this year my storage was broken into and one of the things they got (aside from my Identity..don't ask...NIGHTMARE!) was my mesa boogie half stack.
Long story short, a few months later I was having my guitar, a Rick 360v64 6 string, set up at my local guitar guy's shop and there was the amp! Someone had just sold it there. It was easy to prove it was mine because I had pictures, serial number, police report, etc. So I got it back and even got a lead on the thieves.
Anyway, my point? Don't give up, look around, tell your friends. You never know where and when they might turn up.
