STOLEN: 1974 Hagstrom Swede


Location: Yakima, WA


Hi, My husbands 1974 Hagstrom Swede was stolen a few months ago, we have looked for it all over town and then someone suggested we post here on craigslist.


The guitar was his moms; she got it in 1974 and passed it on to him when he was old enough to play, it is very, very sentimental and he would like it back very much. I would be willing to buy it back.

STOLEN: BLK Epiphone SG w/skull


Location: Pasadena, CA


This is the best photo i could find. I live near the court house in Pasadena and someone stole this out of my car. It was in a Coffin Case with a silver skull spray painted on it. The guitar is pretty unique in that its older and i put gibson deluxe tuning machines on it and the neck pick was missing a screw. Im sure the stickers were removed by the thief.it was pretty special to me so if you have any info or you have it, please call me. Im not lookin to put anyone in jail or even involve the police i just would like it back. i have the serial number to verify along with the reciept from when i bought it.

STOLEN: Victor Baker Custom Made 7 String Guitar #201 REWARD $2,000


Location: Philadelphia, PA


On Wednesday the 5th of March 2008 at 5.45 PM,a custom made Victor Baker 7 string guitar was delivered to the wrong address in Pulaski Avenue,Philadelphia by Fed Ex without a signature release for the package being obtained.


The 25lb LARGE box was addressed to Victor Baker Guitars at 5212 Pulaski Avenue but was delivered by mistake to 5217 Pulaski Avenue and left on the front porch without any release authorization.


This guitar was made for aj washington of Nashville,TN and was being sent back to the maker for some minor adjustments. This guitar was brand new – being only one week old.


The serial # is 201 and this is stamped on the 20th fret on the fingerboard and signed - along with the serial # on the inside of the instrument.The only other markings on the guitar are the letters “VB” that are engraved in abalone into the headstock.


This is a very distinctive guitar and immediately recognizable.


There is a reward being offered for the return of this instrument with no questions asked.


This guitar is too distinctive a piece to remain “missing” and we can assure you that it is too hot to handle.


It’s safe return would be most greatly appreciated and rewarded generously…..Thank you

STOLEN Epiphone Acoustic Custom Artwork


Location: Austin, TX


144-3.jpg


My guitar, originally a cheap Epiphone named Emily, was in the process of having artwork done on it when it was stolen along with the hardshell case from an Austin apartment complex last friday. Case had an autographed sticker by Dar Williams that said "To Isaac - Best". The post I've been circulating amongst friends is below with pictures:


No serial but I do have pictures included - GO TO www.SCREAMINGSTONE.com for pics


"To those of you who don't know, my mother died a week and a half ago. The night that she died, I let a local artist borrow my guitar to decorate it. The next morning I found out, so I had to leave town to arrange funeral things and take care of my father. The artist worked diligently throughout the week and was almost finished a week later, on the day of my mother's interment, when the guitar was stolen from outside an apartment as he rushed in to use a phone. I am offering $50, no questions asked, for the guitar or information leading to the recovery of the guitar. Right now, I have no guitar and am not happy with this turn of events. Much of the symbolism on the guitar is intentional or unintentional memorials to my recently departed mother, and the guitar itself is sentimental."

STOLEN Black Jackson Electric Guitar w/wammy bar


Location: Everett, WA


Today (Saturday) @ Ryan's apartment was broken into. Luckly all his stuff wasnt there we have specific place where we house equipment. BUT his primary guitar was there, and the thiefs stole it. His house is on Camano Island but he has a apartment in Everett, thats where it was stolen, So it most likely will POP-UP in that area either through musicians or Pawn-shops. In this picture below it looks blue but is actually A black Jackson with wham bar, heavy gloss layer makes it reflect color. If you see this guitar please contact us, IF you have chance to speak to the person who has this..... TELL them cough it up, IF YOU WANT TO RETURN IT......NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

Thanks for the props OAFCORE! Since I started doing this about $250,000 in gear has been recovered - those instruments were recovered during Sept 2007 through end of January 2008 - about 10% of the listed stolen instruments. Since February 2008 NONE have been recovered (although we have a lead on the stolen 1940 Gibson mandolin) and the number of stolen instruments listed has tripled.


The original success I think was pure luck - the problem is lack of mass awareness - not enough musicians know about this even though I post on myspace.com/screamingstone, five other musician message boards and on my the site www.screamingstone.com.


So last week I contacted the editors of the major guitar magazines to see if they could publish an article about the problem of instrument theft and how musicians are trying to do something to help their fellow musicians get their gear back.


You can help by telling other musicians about this - and contacting these publications asking that they publish an article:


Premier Guitar

Guitar Player

Guitar World

Vintage Guitar

i bought your guitar off the street in sf last night for $150 ...give me what i paid for it's all yours..i'm a pro musician who plays in sf every night and when i see people selling instruments like this i can't resist but to purchase them knowing that if i find the owner i will gladly contact them to return their instrument(at no loss to me) but if i can't find the owner i just keep it. better that someone who knows about intruments buys them than someone who just thinks it a great deal.. there's a black case and a binder with sheet music also.. you can email me at jeanrepetto@msn.com or call 510-367-5389. you are a very lucky man. i hope that i never need this service but if i do, lets hope it works out for me the same way as it did for you.

I created an interactive map with the locations of where instruments have been stolen - its on my site www.screamingstone.com . Please take a minute to see what's been stolen in your area. Here's the link.


If you had an instrument stolen, contact me and I'll add the info and spread the word.


And PLEASE - spread the word to other musicians - the more musicians who know about this, the better chance we have at recovering the stolen instruments.

STOLEN Gibson TV Yellow Single Cut-Away w/P-90's REWARD


Location: Manhattan, NY


About 4 years ago some one stole my Gibson 1990-1 TV Yellow/Single Cut away, P90's from the back of my friends car in Manhattan. I've all but given up on it. It was in pretty bad shape. Paint cracking,Chips about 1 inch missing for the side near the strap lock, electrolysis on the pick-up screw and so on. The TV has sentimental value as I bought it on my First Childs birthday. REWARD - I'd replace it with a faded DC yellow as a reward, 2004 Gibson Les Paul DC faded yellow.
