Some identifying marks: it has a small crack from the bridge to the frame, a bunch of little indentations above the soundhole (from pick smacking), some slight warping and wear around and above the soundhole (black feedback buster was in it), a few tiny blood stains under the strings near the bridge and in the soundhole. It lived in a Martin 640 Deluxe Hardshell Molded Case with a yellow “Orangadang” sticker on it. In the case was a green and blue design “Jamz”strap with black leather ends and a gold Buddha pin, gold Kayser capo, planet waves black rubber feedback buster, planet waves 10ft cable 90 end with mute, 3-4 packs of strings (martin/D’addario exp), a number of orange Tortex picks and old black-handled wire cutters (which were my grandfathers).

Members Screaming Stone Posted June 23, 2015 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2015 Seeing that it's much easier to get back your gear if you know where it is, we developed a new phone app - GPSRoadie. The app uses smartphone's GPS and cellular tech to create a virtual fence around the phone. Put the phone in an instrument case, tour van or tour trailer and that is now protected. If it's stolen, location alerts are sent every 60 seconds to people you choose. The app also broadcasts stolen alerts, hopefully helping more people get back their stolen gear.
