wow that really sucks man! dont give up playing. like the guys said... just make sure you always have an eye on your stuff.

the guitarist in my band plays a MIM Strat and he never lets anyone transport it. its always with him in the cabin of whatever car he's in... no trunk, nothing... always right next to him.

it really sucks dude.... but keep on playing just make sure you always know where your stuff's at

Man, really sorry about the loss of your guitar (all of 'em). If you are filing a police report, I'd say those amusement park folk might make some likely suspects. Not to judge, or point fingers, but soooo many crimes these days are inside-type jobs, or someone much closer than you think. Best of luck getting your JP back. I'm just a home jammer, so I don't have to take mine out into this scary world. But your story makes me realize, if I was gigging regularly, I'd have reason to buy a relatively cheap Fender!

5 guitars in 3.5 years? I'd be chaining them to my wrist by now and rethinking my gig loading strategy!

Sorry for your loss...

Sorry for your loss...
The others were stolen when my house was broken into... two different houses in fact. There is a huge burglary rash here over the last few years.

mate -I am truly gutted for you. I use both my MMan guitars at every venue regardless how rough....I keep saying I'm going to get a couple of cheapies - but I just can't .......I love my guitars and (you guys prob understand) that if you have a great guitar - it's to play, not to leave at home!

hey guys - how about we set up a fund....if we all go £1 / $1 each via paypal...we'll get him enough to put to a new one!!!!!

Hang on....erm....then we can do the same for me!!!!

Serously though - I'm there if we can do it!!!

May have located the Ibanez and the police department there has even called me just to follow up and he thinks that the odd nature of both colors will make them easy to find if people do what they usually do with things like that. The rest is just watching Ebay and whatnot.

I'm actually hopeful for the first time of this ordeal. I had written them off completely.

Yeah, but the people I've known here, and some other music forums I frequent, tend to not suck with as much regularity.

Thanks for listening and putting up with my whining...

I've been thinking about what it would take to start a sort of musician's network that is organized, and based on dealing with various state's laws and whatnot. I'm always looking at used instruments to see if they have any signs of being stolen, but I'm just not very savvy about crime and whatnot. But, there are several of us, even in this small town, that are always paying attention and if there was a network that was famous enough that musicians everywhere would report their stolen instruments on... and was organized well enough that it would be easy to brows stolen instruments in an area....

I don't know. It would take people smarter than I am, but if everyone did something... it seems possible.
