These stolen guitar posts are always heart wrenching, I hope they get the thief. Around here, instruments stolen in one state will end up a ways up the coast or inland so people should keep eyes peeled in a prety large area.

Even if it's an absolutely one off guitar, do you have pix/ description of the case and serial number, those are helpful

What could this person be thinking ?

"Man I just stole Jr Browns one of a kind world famous guitar, I'm gonna bring it to a Nashville shop and they will give me thousands for it ".


And I can't wait to show it to all of my friends...

It was a smash and grab from a vehicle in a hotel parking lot. They had no idea what guitar it was.

My worry is that once the junkie who stole it realizes it's unique and can't be easily fenced, they will dispose of it in a dumpster or otherwise destroy it.

That’s a terrible deal I’m sure Junior treasured his guilt steel.

This is gut-wrenching news. Stealing a players musical gear is mighty low... I hope they recover Junior's guitar, then throw the crook in a dungeon..!!

I really dig Junior. Feel bad for him and hope he gets his cool guitar back intact and soon.

When I was a kid in N.Y.C a guy told me"A junkie will pawn his Mom's wedding ring" This has stayed with me all of my life...I hope that Junior gets his guitar back in the same condition so he can play it again.

I hope he gets it back quickly (like less than the 12 years it took Buddy Cage to get his Hilt back), and in good order
