Members jjpistols Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 I saw your post on Craigslist - that {censored}in sucks - I'll def keep an eye out around town check Austin Vintage for it too, but make sure you have a police report not saying he's a thief, but I have recovered stolen guitars there - I think he's not too careful about who he buys from report the serial number to both Guitar Centers - talk to Patrick a the North one, and Parker at the south one - tell them JJ told you to contact them - they get ID and info when they buy used gear, so if it does turn up, they can watch out for it, and catch the guy if he tries to sell it good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GPLAYER Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'm sorry to hear that. Thieves are the lowest form of vermin. Not to add insult you injury, but why would you leave your guitar in a practice room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stevco Vai Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 Sorry to hear that, friend, we share the same destiny. I was robbered two times. The basterds stole my rare Ibanez guitar, and the second time they stole my modified Ibanez blazer (but modified with dimarzio pickups, and floyd rose, really good guitar).But don`t worry pell, now I am waiting for my princess, Ibanez Prestige RG2570EXVSL, and I am very happy about it. Always look on the bright side of life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiger roach Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 Stealing a Tele is a hangin' matter, a capital crime! Oh yeaaaah! Sorry about your axe Homestar. You'll still be the same player with your new Tele when you get it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vendor Defendor Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 Do you have a serial number for it? Watch eBay, pawnshops (if you have them in your area) and places that buy used gear. Also, like everyone else said get a police report. But with out a serial number there isn't much that can be done. Sorry about your loss. I had a car stolen once, it was my baby. I had spent the previous summer building a 500hp beast of a power plant and was just getting the bugs ironed out when the thieves took it. -edit- also what is that a sticker of in the middle between the pickups? Its kind of hidden by your hand but that could be an identifiying feature for people in your area to look for. The sticker or where the sticker was.

Members BlackHatHunter Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 pawnshops in Austin? I would say it's a safe bet What's that song, again? Grand pappy told my pappy back in my day, son A man had to answer for the wicked that he'd done Take all the rope in Texas Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys Hang them high in the street For all the people to see That Justice is the one thing you should always find You got to saddle up your boys You got to draw a hard line When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune And we'll all meet back at the local saloon And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses I hope you catch the bastard, and I hope that gravity does its Texas thang...

Members jerry_picker Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 Sucks. JJ and BHH have good advice.There is a slim but real chance that you'll find it.

Members Mingo Sanders Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 I've been trying to stay out of the pawn shops lately for my own sake, but I'll start making the rounds and keep an eye out for it.

Members OmniMax Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 Yeah, all you people take note. Record your serial number make and maybe a few polaroids. Just because you're paranoid does mean they're after you. Usually good sellers on eBay will tell you the serial number of the instrument being sold. Call up all pawnshops within a 100 mile radius maybe and ask em if they got a tele and do a little road trip. I'd kill if anyone stole my main axe, I mean it's a 2000 something SG Faded, but it's my main weapon, that just ain't right. I'd check this studio place and see if they have insurance or if you did any contracts see if there is anything in there about security or the safe guarding of client equipment.

Members Trader Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 That really sucks! I would definately call around to all the local pawn shops to see if that recently got a tele in. That was a sweet tele too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tomybitg Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 I once left the studio and walked to the train station just when i was going to pay I noticed I wasn't carrying my guitar I walked about 5 nyc blocks back and said there was no way it was still there. I turned the conner and ti was standing right there I couldn't beleive it well I wish all stories ended that way I hope the peoson feel guilty and decides to return it that really sucks!!!
