Centaur Guitar Has Been Robbed!!

Well folks, I wish I could say that this was a joke but it is not. We've lost many guitars and a lot of sleep over the past several weeks. We were broken in to a couple weekends in a row and it has really set us back. We're hoping that our fine friends in the local and regional guitar community might be able to help us out. I know that some of you have already heard about this but we've decided to air this out in the blogosphere in hopes of recovering some of our instruments and maybe even finding the guy who stole them.

If you happen to have seen any of these guitars please let us know. All of them have been reported stolen and we have case numbers. If you have purchased one of them from Craigslist or elsewhere we'd love to hear from you. Please know that we know you were not the one who stole it from us. We've all bought and sold stuff that way ourselves. That said, we'd like to talk to you about the possibility of buying our stuff back if you paid for it.

More than that, if you know or have seen this guy we would LOVE(!) to meet him.





Now, the guitars. There's a lot of them. We'll start with the ones we really miss:


This is a 1963 Epiphone Wilshire. Serial No. 140964
The original finish has been oversprayed so the guitar 
looks a lot newer than it is.



This is a 1965 Epiphone Coronet. Serial No. 553381
Kinda the younger brother to the guitar above.


Here's a 1980 Gibson E/2 Explorer. Serial No. 81570025
With a Kahler.We're very sad to have lost this one.


2007 Rickenbacker Dakota 650D Serial No. 07-28484
We weren't even done working on this one. Might still be missing a saddle...


1967 Harmony Rocket.
Not terribly uncommon but very cool and we'd like it back.


Danelectro U2 (90’s) Blueburst w/ Red and Blue Pinstriping 
(Including pictures of stick figures doing it) - You'll know this one if you see it.

Epiphone EBM-4 BASS-Transparent Red. PJ Config. Serial No. S93081147

Well, that's it. A whole bunch of guitars and a whole bunch of time spent repairing the damage that this guy has done. I'd like to have a few words with him about that. 

Please let us know if you've seen our stuff or if you think you might know who this guy is.

Thanks,
Jason
