Stolen guitars

I thought that I would share this here in the electric section. It really is a shame when musicians get their prized instruments stolen. I hope they are able to recover them soon.

According to the article:

Three of Osborne’s favorites were taken, including a 1968 Fender Stratocaster that he named “Blackie.” He told KTVU that he played the guitar during gigs with B.B. King and Randy Newman.

“It's been my main guitar, it's been through everything,” he said. “It's got a little sticker on it from my mom, a little butterfly, from when she was dying.”

A 1974 Wine Red Les Paul Custom and a 2017 Les Paul also were stolen.

They used to shoot a man for stealin' a horse... Just sayin.'

What a shame. I hope he gets it back. Probably won't show up here on the east coast. Most of these thieves just need their next fix.
