Tedster Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Anyone know of a registry for stolen guitars? Something where you can enter the serial number into a data base, and if it turns up reclaim it and castrate the bastard that's trying to sell it?

Scott from MA Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 There was one at www.axreg.com but I just checked and the site seems to be down. Don't know if it's gone, or just down temporarily. You could try e-mailing them at info@axreg.com to find out.

Lisa Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Vintage Guitar Magazine posts a list of stolen instruments in every issue. Many dealers read the mag and can help keep a lookout if the instrument should turn up in their stores. You can email the info about the guitar (include a jpeg if you have one), specifics of where it was stolen from and where you can be contacted. They'll post it on their website and in the mag.

fantasticsound Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Originally posted by Tedster: ...This was 20 years ago, but it still pisses me off... Yeah... I left a Lotus strat copy, with a then brand new Zoom 9002 processor in a case on a street in downtown Chicago, 10 years ago! It still irks me. (My Dodge Omni had a windshield leak. The plastic that was supposed to shed rain onto the ground had instead guided the water INTO the car, that night. I was in recording class at a nearby studio. Pissed about the water, I set the guitar case against the driver's side, rear tire. It was REALLY dark where I was parked. I was cussing the soaked driver's seat, tearing at the plastic, and I just got in the car and drove away. Four blocks away, to another studio owned by my friend's father! After several hours of recording and screwing around in the studio, I drove 24 miles, only to realize the guitar was missing as I neared home. I called my buddy at 3am to check the studio, then I drove back downtown, as I'd realized where it was lost. Go figure... it wasn't there! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif If I ever see it I'll get it back. It was solid white, but I'd added some commercial marking stickers to it. Bright neon colors with markings for chemical and gas lines. I don't think I'd know the 9002 from any other, however!!! I'd like the Peavey T-60 case back... I still have the T-60! (Please don't ask why!) http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/eek.gif It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guitars (a little more detailed description)...Les Paul Standard...natural maple top, maple neck w/rosewood fingerboard...leather straplock on the front strap button. Molded plastic hard case. Two cream DiMarzios...I believe I had a Super Distortion in the bridge position and a PAF (I think) in the neck slot. My Strat was also a hardtail. White. Black pickguard. Rosewood fingerboard. On the upper cutaway may be traces of where there was once olde English font presstype with the words "Tough Enough" (was on there when I bought it...left it).

zboy2854 Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 My loss was a $4000 Buscarino hybrid custom guitar with a quilted sunburst finish and cloud mother of pearl inlays. It also had a special 4 pin jack next to the standard 1/4" jack. My pride and joy, stolen from my rehearsal space/warehouse. The kicker? I had an insurance policy on it that I had let lapse 1 week before it was stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
