The OH MY GOD! I BOUGHT ONE OF SONIC YOUTH´S STOLEN GUITARS thread
(I figured I start a special thread for this since the story is too big to be hidden in another thread)
I was just looking at Sonic Youth´s guitars.. when I noticed this guitar (http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/eq/gtr32.html):
Now compare it to this.. the guitar Fenderbob got me via Ebay.. (Ebay thread: index.php/topic,22176.0.html & Fenderbob´s pictures thread: index.php/topic,22433.0.html)
It´s Lee Ranaldo´s stolen Mustang!!!

I would contact the band, but I wouldn't give the guitar back.

welp... I'd say that's pretty close. You should contact the band... maybe they'd do something nice for you or something. If they even still care about their stolen equipment.

Fuck.
That sure is 100% the same guitar!
You should definitely try and contact the band, IMO... you can see from there. Geez.... Keep us posted.

Send them the pic of Nolan holding jerkers starcaster for randsom. You could photoshop the mustang into the picture.Sauerkraut wrote: I plan to contact them and sell it back if they want it (for just what I paid for it of course).

Send a private message to Mr. Mastery in the mastery bridge thread, he will give you the telephone of Ranaldo Also, IIRC, the tech guy of Sonic Youth is also a member of the forum, so I believe he would pitch in.
We got people playing stringed instruments! It's the end of days.

Re: The OH MY GOD! I BOUGHT ONE OF SONIC YOUTH´S STOLEN GUITARS thread
I agree, but I think it'd be hard to sell a guitar that basically has scribbeled 'Sonic Youth' all over it. I think this explains the ridiculously low BIN too, it was just to make sure it was gone fast.stereordinary wrote: That is amazing.

I sent e-mails to the contact management and the webmaster of sonicyouth.com.. not the best choices I guess, but I didn´t really know where to start.slavemaster wrote: Send a private message to Mr. Mastery in the mastery bridge thread, he will give you the telephone of Ranaldo Also, IIRC, the tech guy of Sonic Youth is also a member of the forum, so I believe he would pitch in.
