Foo Fighters Guitarist to Fan Whose Ax Was Stolen: “Bummer. Want Another?”
Need something to take your mind off of the elections? Here’s a nice story for you.
When Sinclair Belle’s Telecaster Deluxe was stolen, he had no idea he would soon receive a replacement from the artist for whom the guitar is named: Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett.
Belle, who performs with Happy Daggers, a British group in Leeds, England, played a white Chris Shiflett signature Telecaster Deluxe, which is modeled on the Foo Fighters guitarist’s favorite 1972 Telecaster Deluxe. This past September, Belle’s guitar was stolen from his car. News of the theft went online and in due course found its way to Shiflett.
“I was winding down from the week when a message come through the band’s Facebook page,” Belle tells The Sun.
“It was a message from Chris Shiflett. He said he had seen the article and to let him know if I wanted another one.”

Yet another reason why I’m a Foo Fighters fan and this time it isn’t even Dave Grohl… ;)
