Just wanted to share my bad news, I guess I'm looking for sympathy and advice.
Got the guitar from my son's estate when he passed away a number of years ago. It was on indefinite loan to a friend. As i don't see the guy that often anymore I have been intermittently asking for it back in the past year.As mentioned on previous posts, i am not a player.
Buddy informed me this weekend that it was stolen from his house in Kitchener (crack neighbourhood)---3 yrs ago--It was a custom, unfortunately I do not have the serial number. Buddy said he contacted the police, guitar shops, and pawn shops 3 yrs. ago, but it hasn't surfaced.Guitar was painted pink metalflake, and had a bigsby pickup.Little did I know that it might disappear or i would have recorded serial # and pictures.Not insured by buddy or myself.DUH! Couldn't tell me about the theft until pushed because of sentimental value.?
Good lesson learned: pictures and insurance details from now on! Mind you,
how does one go about replacing the un replaceable?
any advise appreciated.
regards
