I just received this from Trevor Sewell. Hi Michael - thank you thats much appreciated
The guitars are a 1969 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop with micro hum buckers and at time of theft it also had a Roland GK2 midi pickup system screwed onto it. A Fender Stratocaster Artist series Mark Knopfler which has a set of three flick switches beside the volume and tone controls which are very non - standard. It also has a 13 pin socket on the bottom of the guitar for the internal midi system. At time of theft it had a wireless midi pickup also. The back pickup has been replaced with a black pick up (I can't remember exactly what it is but other guitars in this series have 3 white Texas flyer pickups - mine has two white and the bridge pickup is black. The third guitar was a Santa Ana acoustic blue in colour and there are very very few of them around. I'll attach a pic of all 3 - thanks again MichaelEYES & EARS EVERYONE. THEY MIGHT TURN UP DOWN THE ROAD FROM YOUShine On Michael

'EYES & EARS EVERYONE. THEY MIGHT TURN UP DOWN THE ROAD FROM YOU'
Let's hope so. Stealing in any form but especially someone's instrument is despicable. These guitars are quite unique so hopefully the scumbag is stupid enough to try and sell them to a local music shop.

So sad to hear about this as I live in the region my eyes are peeled and the local radar is on. That is really good of you. They often do turn up very close to where they were stolen. Keep an eye on Cash Converters and similar pawnshop type places. Thieves that steal stuff like this, disgust me. Shine On Michael

Happy Ending so far... not wearing masks or distancing though...looking at the guitar, masks and distancing would be advised even without covid...

I don't know Trevor, but I am pleased to have been able to help by posting about the theft on the forum. That's what we're here for.

What to deflect the heavy breathing Fred? Lol! Its a nice guitar, though some ‘69 Les Pauls are more desirable than others. I wonder if his is the 1 piece or the “pancake” multi-layer body? BTW Brian Jones 68 Gold Top from Rock and Roll Circus going to be auctioned by Juliens this summer...
