This sort of crime makes me so angry. I wonder if the thieves even understand what they have?

Make sure that all the "specialist" dealers in the country know about this.

TAMCO In Brighton, Guitar Village, Frailers etc.

Listening to this ballad made me sad to hear of such a large loss:

That blows. Getting robbed is like getting punched in the gut . . . and then kneed in the face.

Posted on tdpri and Strat-Talk.

Who knew that there were instruments ready to ship, in the shop?

This is one that was loaned out to record and wasn’t stolen. Luscious tone.

No problem, your friendly invisible moderators at work for you hahaha! It is just a matter of what you post between the youtube brackets, you did the entire URL which will not work. Under the FAQ there is a section that tells you what to insert and what to delete although yours was a little harder. It took me several tries to get it to load, but it was worth it. The playing and the guitar are stellar!

Sure hope what was stolen is recovered.
