It is difficult to convey to normal, sane people who aren’t guitar fetishists the abject depravity that stealing a vintage guitar represents.

If your friend finds the culprit, let me know. I may or may not have:
* an unused warehouse in an area where loud noises and bad smells aren’t particularly noteworthy
* a dentist’s chair
* 37 years of bottled-up anger
* a robust imagination
* a deep appreciation for guitars.

Note: if they’re all Telecasters, then never mind.

Right there with you. I take a very dim view of people who steal other people’s gear.

He had a few Strats, but no Teles as far as I know. He had a lot of one-offs (NAMM guitars, prototypes) and vintage Japanese guitars (Ibanez Artists), as well as Les Paul Customs, Juniors, Standards.

Over $50K worth of stuff. I’m hoping the unique nature of a lot of the guitars will make them easier to track down.
