I have just picked up the latest copy of Guitar & Bass magazine from my local news sellar here in the UK and I was looking through the small ads. And under the section entitled Missing/Stolen is the following advert

" Missing from Gatwick Airport, 1959 Gibson Les Paul Sunburst electric guitar with flight case. Reward offered for safe return of un-damaged guitar Tel: ........... with any relevant information"

It doesn't say if its a real burst or a re-issue. But how bad must that guy feel if its a real burst. If I was travelling with a real burst, I'd have the thing chained to me.

No kidding, wow.

I've just traveled to Scotland with my Strat and IT never leaves my side, so I can't even fathom how a '59 burst gets nicked, reissue or not. Did he leave it on the package counter of a bathroom? Put it on a table stool while at the airport bar?
