  • *** stolen music equipment *** stolen music equipment ***

    I'm really upset at the moment and need your help.

    Never thought I would ever have to deal with something like this. But Sunday (07/18/2010) a climate controlled facility was broken into (21 units total) and I had some very expensive and sentimental gear stolen. I'm passing this along to everybody I know in the hopes that it may help. Please pass it along to anybody who can help.

    This happened in Walker, Louisiana. Near Baton Rouge/Denham Springs area and Hammond, Louisiana. Please keep your eyes and ears open.

    I'm sure I don't have to say which of these guitars is the most important to me.

    8 Guitars
    1 Amp



    1957 Gibson Les Paul Special (was my father's guitar)

    TV Yellow, ding on lower horn/cutaway, chip on back of guitar neck
    Aftermarket bridge, original in the case along with Black Diamond string boxes, no longer made
    Brown Gibson case, pink interior color



    This is another pic which shows the ding on the lower horn. Other than a chip on the back of the neck, the guitar is perfect other than normal aging.






    Gibson Les Paul “Gary Moore” edition

    Lemon Burst color, clear mahogany back, figured maple top which is like a finger print, no two are alike Says “Gary Moore” on the headstock plate
    Seymour Duncan Pickups – not stock, neck pickup facing wrong way, will make this guitar stand out
    Brown form fitting case with “Gibson USA” outside
    Case interior will be blue and say “Gary Moore” on the protective cover





    Jackson Randy Rhodes USA
    Low serial number, 800-1000 range stamped on fret board of guitar neck

    Black on black, Kahler tremolo, chips on points, hair line stress cracks on back from 3-piece construction
    Seymour Duncan Invader and Jazz pickups, not stock and makes this guitar identifiable
    Black Jackson guitar case





    Ibanez RG 7620

    Vampires Kiss (magenta)
    EMG 707 pickups, guitar had to be modified for these to fit, this will make it stand out
    Extra EMG control in back cavity
    Will be in a black plastic SKB style case





    The Heritage VIP

    Tobacco Burst curly/quilt figured top which is like a finger print, no two are alike
    Seymour Duncan “Screamin Demon” pickup, not original, will make this guitar stand out
    Black guitar case with “The Heritage” on outside of it, case will look heavily worn





    Hamer Californian USA

    Black Iridescent finish (black multicolor)
    Chrome hardware
    Seymour Duncan Invader and Cool Rails pickups are not stock and make this guitar unique
    Black guitar case





    Jackson Stars “Jake” Kelley model
    Serial number 001817 on the last fret

    Rare Guitar as it was only made for the Japan market and imported to the USA by me
    Burgundy/red metallic w/black bevels and back, black hardware
    EMG pickups are not stock and make this guitar identifiable
    Black soft leather bag/ case





    Alvarez Acoustic guitar

    Natural wood finish
    Has a scratch/scrape/gouge in the top of the guitar, in the area circled
    Black form fitting guitar case






    Mesa Engineering Road King guitar amp

    Early edition with the “Triode/Pentode” switching option at the rear tubes which was discontinued
    Red Crocodile leather covering, this is a special order option and each one is slightly different, like a finger print.
    Black Mesa Engineering slip on cover

    Wow, even without the sentimental aspect, that les paul is so awesome. I hope the thieves die in a fire.

      Good luck. If they get caught they'll face some serious jail time.

          My teeth are smoking right now from grinding in anger for you.
          I'm sorry.

                Send those pics to all the pawn shops and music stores you can think of, hopefully something will turnup.
                Good luck, man. Thieves are the worst.

                  I just saw a black Hamer Californian somewhere yesterday...GBASE maybe

                  I hope you get your gear back and these criminals are raped repeatedly. I feel for you with that LP...not only with what it means to you, but that ain't something you come across in a normal lifetime.

                  EDIT: looks black, but it says it's crimson metallic and it's in VA...prolly not it...sorry!

                    And any within the next couple states. Do daily searches for each of the instruments.

                      Good luck man. Hate this BS for you, and hope you get them back. Were they insured?

                            If they live. Cunts, absolute cunts.

                            I'm hoping with all my heart you get your stuff back.
                            So I woke up,rolled over and who was lying next to me? Only Bonnie Langford!

                            I nearly broke her back
