From renowned guitarist Johnny A.'s facebook page:

Johnny A.

I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE!!
I CAME HOME FROM A GREAT TOUR ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY HOUSE WAS BURGLARIZED LAST NIGHT. AT LEASE 3 OF MY GUITARS WERE STOLEN, TWO ARE VERY RECOGNIZABLE. THEY ARE:
1) 1967 GIBSON EB-2 BASS IN RARE BURGANDY METALLIC FINISH
2) GIBSON MONTANA CUSTOM ADVANCED JUMBO ACOUSTIC SUNBURST FINISH VERY RARE ONE OF 40 PIECES, IDENTIFIED BY IT'S SLIMMER BODY AND RARE 3 PIECE BACK
3) HOFNER REISSUE MCCARTNEY BASS NOT MY GERMAN ONE, BUT HOLDS SENTIMENTAL VALUE AS IT WAS A CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MY FAMILY. ANY INFORMATION HELPFUL IN GETTING THESE INSTRUMENTS BACK WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...PLEASE RE POST AND CHECK CRAIGSLIST ETC...THANK YOU. ja

Johnny is a great guy and a guitarist extraordinaire. ANY INFO PLEASE CONTACT SALEM, NH POLICE DEPT.!

Nice work Tunaman! Stealing musical instruments is lower than low. I hope they catch the scum who did this.

I'll keep a look-out for your EB-2 because I'm trying to find my EB-2 as well. I am regularly checking the Internet. My EB-2 is Cherry-RED with a bridge pick-up I installed (wish I hadn't done that but at least there is NO mistaking MY BASS!).

Best Regards,
