Mike's blue Duesnberg, one of Tom's Rickenbacker 360/12s and an SG Jr., Ron Blair's Broadcaster, and Scott Thurston's 1967 Epiphone Sheration were stolen from the Soundstage in Studio City, CA

Festering boils on the thieves .
I despise thieves .

clayfeat · April 14th, 2012, 04:18 AM

Glad they didn't swipe Mike's Burst.

metalmayhem · April 14th, 2012, 04:49 AM

Damn disgrace

TeleTim911 · April 14th, 2012, 05:23 AM

I absolutely hate thieves!!

The eternal, undeniable, universal truth:
You reap what you sow.
Somewhere, somehow.
Remember that, you guitar stealers.

mickeydean · April 14th, 2012, 08:54 AM

what i find just as disgusting is the number of people who would never consider stealing a guitar, but if the price is right, have no problems buying one with no questions asked so they can pretend they didn't know it was stolen.

1,000 bucks for a broadcaster?!?!?! SURE!

yark14 · April 14th, 2012, 11:30 AM

Wow. Thats horrible.

ianasdfg · April 14th, 2012, 11:51 AM

Thieves are less than human, it's a pity such beautiful instruments will no longer be used for making great music.

KBing · April 14th, 2012, 11:59 AM

I've had guitars stolen, thieves are less than scum.

Paul in Colorado · April 14th, 2012, 02:13 PM

I cast some Dark Kharma on those nasty little thieves. Scott's Epiphone? Where's Joe Friday when you need him?

Valvey · April 14th, 2012, 06:55 PM

At least they didn't get the most famous one-- the solid body Rick twelve string on the front of Damn the Torpedos

DrumBob · April 14th, 2012, 07:08 PM

Sadly, it was probably inevitable that Tom, Mike, Ron and Scott would get something stolen one day. They have so many of them, are very open about their guitars, the history behind them, and so forth. I immediately thought of Mike's '59 Burst, his original Strat and his Broadcaster. Also, that weirdo Rickenbacker Mike has. I'm glad those are safe.

boris bubbanov · April 14th, 2012, 07:42 PM

Terrible.

Do we know the serial on the Broadcaster?

Is this a regular 360/12 or one with a wider neck?

CharlieO · April 14th, 2012, 09:57 PM

It's a "regular" 1967 360/12 with serial number GH 3747. I haven't seen a serial number for the Broadcaster, but I'm sure that information will be available somewhere.

esetter · April 14th, 2012, 10:15 PM

Effin' damned thieves!!!!!!

soul-o · April 15th, 2012, 12:14 AM

Just try to imagine the bad rock and roll karma you get for ripping off Tom Petty. Not cool.

stratelespaul · April 15th, 2012, 08:57 AM

I would hope these would be hard to sell given all the documentation and publicity concerning them.

A potential buyer would have to alter them thereby ruining the true value...I would think.

Mike Eskimo · April 15th, 2012, 09:47 AM

To put some perspective on it - if any of us, who own 3-5 guitars on average, had that happen to us it would be tragic, horrible, and life-changing.

Those guys ? A complete drag and a violation to be sure but - even Ron Blair is rich beyond any of us here and there's no way they're not insured.

I've seen the practice space photos. There are literally hundreds of guitars left...

If no one buys stolen goods, theft will stop.
