This kind of shit happens more than you would think. It totally posses me off, you do not f-ck with someones gear, it is on the same level as messing with someones girl. There are scabs out there that go to gigs and camp out just waiting for the opportunity to lift peoples gear. It deserves a baseball bat to the cranium.

i just don't understand how someone could do that to a musician.
I've started a facebook group -- please could y'all pass it on? a friend of a friend of a friend might spot it in a shop or something...

- I looked on Facebook for the band, and I got nothing. Looks like they don't exist on the Internet yet.Jaline

That sucks. Heard a lot of people getting kit robbed from gigs... again not being regionalist but it always seems to be at Liverpool/Manchester dates.

maybe get a white guitar with a maple neck instead of rosewood and perhaps people won't feel obliged to steal it from you
aren't those like $300

Went to Wunjo Guitars and Ground Music on Denmark after work, no luck though sorry. The guy at Wunjo was really nice said to go around to all the shops in the daytime (most were closed when I went) and describe your guitar to the shop keepers. Said to check gumtree and ebay too. I will keep my eye out in the Soho/kentish town areas for you. Good luck.

After reading and posting in this thread late last night, I dreamt that you found your guitar!!
That probably doesn’t mean anything.
Maybe there was a reason you were handed that lovely Gretsch to use. Think Gretsch. I would.

If I can't find it I'll consider a Gretsch, it was lovely to play.
A friend of a friend who works at Fender saw my plea and they are offering to get me a new guitar for as cheaply as possible. Fender own Gretsch don't they?
- Make sure it’s a proper hollow body. Older ones are better, but you gotta watch the feedback.MrOneHundred
- I hope you get the Strat back, though.MrOneHundred
- yea the feedback got me at the gig, i had to do a dance move to get the amp turned off in the middle of a song cos it was wailing while i was playing korgvespa

- You can fill em with cotton wool/dampening.MrOneHundred
