Hey guy, that really bites. You guys seem to be getting really busy now, were you the only one that lost gear? If I can be of any help, maybe I can. My spare steel and amp are on loan right now but maybe it will come home soon. I will also keep my eyes open to the south.

I'll let Leo Whitebird know, he owns a studio up there and knows most all the store guys. He's kinda anti-internet, but he can keep an eye out.

Hey everybody,
Thanks for all the emails and efforts and offers of gear to borrow. I appreciate all of you talking to all your contacts and spreading the word. It'll probably take awhile so I apologize in advance for bumping this up from time to time to keep it fresh in your thoughts. I'm sure hoping to catch the A-holes who did this as those were all one-of-a-kind guitars, especially an LDG that literally stayed in tune for months. Y'all know how nice it is to have a guitar like that.

Call Willie's American Guitars in St. Paul. Let 'em know what you lost.
The obvious--file a police report.
Good luck.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I went through the same thing two years ago in Los Angeles. Got my Carter SD-10, Dr. Z amp, pedals...It was bad. Had some insurance but never replaced all the loss.
