I'm so sick of hearing about stolen instruments just because it brings back some horrible memories. We never get to hear about the good(?) stolen instrument stories.
About 12 years ago, my brother's first real guitar (Charvel Model 5) was stolen from his apartment in North Carolina by...his ex-wife or someone she was banging at the time. She ended up pawning it and when he filed a police report, the detective didn't do anything since it was supposedly a family member who took it. He thought it was my brother's brother since it was pawned under the name Bobbi. This is obviously a female name, but my brother knew she was having an affair with a cop at the time. Anyway nothing was ever done.
Fast forward to this past Monday in Texas. My brother gets a call from a guy asking if he was the guy that did guitar work. He explains that he got a referral from another musician he knew and that he just bought a guitar real cheap for his daughter to learn on. My brother told him to bring the guitar by. The guy walks in with a beat up silver Charvel case and sets it on the counter. When my brother opened it up, he couldn't believe his eyes. It was just like his old Charvel right down to the dual P.J. Marx humbuckers. When he removed the neck pickup, there were his initials!!! The guitar was pretty beat up compared to when he owned it. He told the story to the new owner and the owner said he would give it back to my brother. My brother said it wouldn't be right, so they made a deal regarding a drum kit and another guitar. So now, he has his first guitar back! What are the odds of that?
Now I wish my 3 Spectors would show up like that! |
