Location: Phoenix AZ | Anyone seen this guitar:
GC SHINY BOWL
Did I lend it to someone here?
Did I sell it to someone here?
I honestly don't know where the heck it is. I went through all my cases and it does not seem to be anywhere.
I sold an old shiny bowl orange lined case to someone not long ago. I forget who. Was there a guitar in the case when you got it?
I normally keep everything pretty well organized but this one seems to have totally disappeared. I sure hope it's not gone because it would be damn near impossible to replace.
Do I need a P.I. ???

Obviously a symptom of having WAY too many guitars. You sold it a couple years back...I'm thinking to MusicMishka but I don't see it in his guitar list.
Of course, the fact that I'm remembering what YOU did with YOUR guitars is probably even a worse symptom on my part... |

Location: Tennessee | I have a guitar that looks nearly identical to that, but it has different tuners and no autograph on the headstock.
I used to know a P.I., but he's gone missing. I was going to hire him to go locate himself, but I couldn't find him. |

check with standingovation. perhaps he sold it when tupperware wasn't looking.
or check with tacky on the other forum. he might know something about it, although he is more into takamines than ovations. |

Location: nashville | Wow!!I just had a GC Shinny show up on my door step. It said it's owner had stopped feeding it 5 weeks ago. No collar or case.
It did look malnourished but I told it I would take good care of it and never make it play Mr. Tambourine Man. It loves to be stroked and Boy does it Purrrr. |

I'm afraid it's gone. Most likely the painters who where in our house last month lifted it. But why THAT one? I'm gonna buy a Taylor and sit it right out in the open so any time somebody wants to steal a guitar they'll take that one instead.

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Time to call the PPD...they can chase down the painters and check the pawn shops in the area (and Tucson as well)...Was this on display or in the case? I'm guessing that if on display, they saw the Glen Campbell sig. on the headstock and figured it to be a signed guitar...hope that it can be found...sorry my friend... |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Yes, would apreciate everyone keeping there eyes open. I filed a report with the PD, not sure what they'll do. Contacted the Painting Co. of course they stand by their employees and asure me that none of them would do such a thing, but they'll ask around (sure). I'll start contacting pawn shops tomorrow myself. Dave |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Police report filed.
I'm in the process of contacting local pawn shops (shit, there's about 100 of them in Phoenix alone).
Also making "Wanted" posters to give to all the pawnshops and post in all music shops.
Fortunately with my website I've got a good photo history of it including a good photo of the label. People asked if there was any record of a serial number registration by the manufacturer (there isn't) but I gave them a screen-print of the s/n registration page from the website. Who ever thought that I would be the first to really NEED it.
Insurance is no help. I've got a $1000. deductable and I have no receipt of the value of the guitar. The only record is that it sold for $449. back in 1968.
PLEASE look over the photos on my site and familiarize yourself with this guitar and if you have any leads please let me know.
