SheldonR Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Need help with this one. Had my Les Paul stolen that was signed to me from slash and need input on where to start. Have a police report but never had a serial. I've done the usual Craigslist and Facebook stuff but looking for ideas or avenues to take.

Sgt. Pepper Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 That sucks. I don't think you will ever see it again. It has probably already been sold. And could be anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Telling he story in places like this certainly helps. One shows up in a bragging photo on a forum there's a chance of it being recognized. Maybe write to Reverb and eBay, social media etc. Kind of like missing children used to be on milk cartons. If it makes an appearance then someone will see it. Very sorry for your loss. Infuriating I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labomba Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 If your the original owner and registered it with gibson they’ll have the serial number. If your not the original owner find out who is and see if they registered it. Without the s/n even if it shows up somewhere you’ll have a hard time proving its yours. Like pepper said it’s probably been sold to someone else already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheldonR Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 No photos but trying an old Myspace account to see if I do. But going to try and find one of the other pieces that I got back from the robbery to try to find the case number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheldonR Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 House. I went and got one of the eqs from my storage that was recovered to find the case number. I have a friend that is a retired police so we'll see if anything ever showed and or leads on people. I'm just hoping at this point. I can't even begin to describe the value to me. No monitory value can, I am even willing to buy it back. No questions asked!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I would check the pawnshops in your area and possibly leave them with as much information as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I wouldn't have ANYONE autograph my guitars - I think most of us are the same about that, no dis to you - but I can respect the decision to have Slash sign your Les Paul! Sorry to hear it was stolen. Have had guitars stolen from me too. It's super low. I would check/inform pawnshops in your area. Most of the time, I'd wager it's junkies doing these things. They tend to be local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(LOL) Additional edit: The word Pinch is also a slang term for stealing something, just in case my post is not making sense.
