SteveFord Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 They couldn't have swiped a Chibson? Heard from Reverb, heard from Canada Postal Service, have a bid on the replacement so it'll work out eventually. Maybe I was destined to own a Gold Top, instead. Thank you all for the well wishes and yes, I hope the thief is caught and imprisoned and becomes very popular after lights out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm a Gibson box with an aftermarket case inside... Edited August 21, 2020 by mihcmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 It had a Gibson case and maybe it is sitting in Customs but I doubt it. Maybe sitting in a Customs employee's living room. SO, I just won it's twin sister on eBay. It's going UPS so it may arrive in two pieces but at least it'll get here! Just crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Glad you were able to find a replacement! What’s the ETA on that ol boy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Assuming my guitar thief is happily occupied snorting crank while the box goes by on the conveyor belt it should be sometime next week. It always seems like you have to go through hell to come out on the other side okay and I think this will have a happy ending. I sure hope so, I'm overdue for some good news! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 What makes it even stranger is when you click on the tracking it takes you to the UPS site but the tracking number starts with a "K". When you attempt to contact UPS they say that's not a valid tracking number as theirs start with an 1LZ or something like that, not a K. I contacted the shipper, maybe he can straighten it out.

SteveFord Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 It looks that way, doesn't it? Last night I remembered something: my mother-in-law is from Manhattan, she now lives in Florida and she likes these specialty potatoes from this store in NYC. Why, who knows. A few months ago she ordered $30 worth of these Hispanic spuds and the box showed up, sealed and totally empty. Her theory was somebody got hungry and ate them for lunch which made us laugh. I wonder if my guitar and those potatoes went through the same hub and it's just grab whatever you can, seal it shut and sell it at the end of the day? Maybe the guitar wasn't actually the target, it was just part of the day's haul. I read about the mob just raping JFK when it opened but they were making off with whole trucks, not filching stuff out of boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 All that to try and get my french fried, too. A phone call from the seller to UPS and the black bomber has stopped circling Tennessee and has made it to somewhere in Pennsyltucky. Tomorrow if I'm real lucky, Monday is probably more realistic. I will do a comparison between the Gold Top Standard and the P90 Classic in case anyone is interested. I know that I really am which is kind of how this all came about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
