I can still remember the serial number of the Les Paul Classic stolen from me 32 years ago in Gaithersburg. A traumatic moment in my young life.

You know you know too much about guitars when you automatically hear MR. TAMBOURINE MAN in your head when you see this pic.

Ha! I was thinking "Eight Miles HIgh".

I hope Tom gets the guitars back. And I hope he buys a new couch, that one's ugly.

Hots_Kebabs		2012-04-14 11:30:32 AM

that's not so lucky

Sucks for him but he has plenty more. That dude tours with more guitars than just about anyone.

dprathbun		2012-04-14 12:40:04 PM

$7,500 seems like a low-ball.

Sheridan? Really?

This Thursday night I will get a mile high with Mr. Petty and them Heartbreakers.

Mad Mark		2012-04-14 02:16:15 PM

That sucks. That said, I need to see TP & THB again.

Saw them a few years ago at the Outside Lands festival, they were great. Played a roaring set, then came back out to do an encore with Steve Winwood. Petty was clearly blazed to the tits for the encore.

Just for the encore? Dudes slipping.

Since heroin isn't getting any cheaper in this economy.

This. Plus, if he smokes more dope he won't even care.

Mugato		2012-04-14 05:25:34 PM

Why? He didn't do anything with them.

Sorry for your loss.
Guitar thieves should be treated like horse thieves were.

~~Guitar~~ All thieves should be treated like horse thieves were.

Fixed.

vikingfan		2012-04-14 08:36:25 PM

He'll probably feel a whole lot better when they're back.

Serial 817203 if I remember correctly - 3/4" ding in the back of the neck and a small chip out of the back of the headstock.

lol. i mean, it's got to be a sheraton, right?

The waiting is the hardest part.

xaks		2012-04-14 10:39:10 PM

I saw this referenced almost two days ago as a tweet by Jim Irsay.

That said, Tom Petty sucks. No, really, he does. So does his bands' "music".

OK, how much do you want?

yeah, that ding is still there, and the frets are a little worn now, and there is some buckle rash on the back (sorry about that).
How much did you say the reward is?

Tree fiddy.

Hey, if it keeps Tom Petty from playing, $7,500 seems a small price to pay the thief for a job well done.

Notabunny		2012-04-15 02:12:59 AM

AeAe: Sheridan? Really?

I know. I'm sure it's fine, but why not the Gibson?

This.

I remember about 12 hours after some trucker got hit in the head with a brick during the Rodney King riots, Tom Petty had released a song about how "We Need Peace in LA."

IIRC, the proceeds went to charity. It was still the epitome of AWing, though.

You've changed, man.. you never used to be this cynical.

This makes it more likely that people advertising cool guitars on Craigslist will get a visit from Tom Petty. Apparently it's a pretty regular occurrence.

//Is there a stolen guitar tracking app for phones?
