Thread Name: Stolen Guitar
Subject: RE: Stolen Guitar
Never thought of it..but what a great place to put the word out about stolen instruments. It's been several years, but my favorite Spanish guitar, a Alvarez (the one I learned on...bought by my parents, the one I sang to my babies on...you know the drill) was stolen from a locked van in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The back and sides are a lovely dark wood and the front is red with the typical"braid" around the soundhole. Also..a feature on the head of the guitar...the very top is crushed as if held in a pair of pincers. Was playing a session in a friend's pub and I think someone at the session might have lusted after it overwhelmingly. Would love any info anyone might have.
