Craig Chaquico's quest to get his stolen '59 Gibson Sunburst Les Paul guitar back

[Tom Wittrock]

I still have debt related to the lawsuit, so it's either the burst or the house.

This shit makes my heart bleed.

Agreed! isd

Another easy reason to not like Jefferson Airplane (not that I really needed any more) :wah

If Craig Chaquico can prove he had ownership of the guitar and that it was stolen, whoever has the guitar now, although he/she purchased in good faith, is going to have a problem keeping it. (Based on US law.)

Did you mean to post this two years ago, and something went wrong?
Craig has agreed, in federal court, to drop any claim to the title, now and in the future.

I guess I'll just restate it one more time: I hold legal title to the guitar.

Yes. Fuck Jefferson airplane and the fucking starship and fuck Craig chaquico.

i hereby vow to turn off any radio station that ever plays anything involving this piece of shit guy from this date forward, just on principle from this whole shit show

harry I am so sorry to hear its gotta go but as one other person said perhaps it just holds some bad juju now because of what you had to go through -- and there is some other great guitar waiting for you down the road

all the best to you

Man I can't believe this...wish you the best.
This makes me feel sick...:dang

 

[Tubes 'n Wood]

Feel like I've been punched in the gut after reading the latest information in this thread... Cody, my heart breaks for you... wow, what a f*cked up situation...

 

[Tom Wittrock]

Cody, did you ever tell the story about how/when/from who this guitar was acquired? Was the CC association known at that time? Who sold you this stolen merchandise? I'd be curious if you care to share.

The CC connection was not known at the time. This guitar had been discussed here several times before the back history was known.

Angry

like if there was an alternate ending to karate kid where instead of Danny winning with a crane kick Johnny puts a major beat down on Danny and as he lies on conscious Cobra kai celebrates, Chad McQueen yells get him a body bag and then John Kreese beats up pat morita for good measure.

bad guys win.

It it all feels terribly wrong and injust from my perspective.

Detta suger hästballe, vilken jävla soppa
Styrkekramar från lilla svedala !

SO... if CC had talked to Cody first (instead of the lawyer apparently on speed-dial), hashed it out man-to-man without all the lawyer-shite that happened, Cody would have been able to KEEP HIS GUITAR?

Good work CC - you just ruined it for BOTH of you, welcome to the Law Of Unintended Consequences. Feel better now? :fu isd :rolleyes

Damn, Cody, just damn. That fkkking SUCKS. :dang

The cynic in me tends to believe there was nothing unintended in his actions whatsoever. Harry was fooked if he did, and fooked if he didn't. This is a horrible and impossible situation for this guitars owner.

I can't begin to understand how Harry feels....

 

[zakkrhoads]

Not to put more gasoline into this but...anyone that buys this amazing guitar would have to deal with CC in the future as well? :wow:dang

 

[Bloodspoint]

Sorry it has come to this, Harry.

 

[clearmudd]

This is one of those lessons that costs so much and you don't get a scroll or a plaque for.

Cody, I am deeply moved and sorry for your situation.:dang

 

[67blackcherry]

Damn - I was wondering why this thread had been resurrected...
That blows - really truly blows - such a bummer, sorry to hear that Cody.

 

[lpnv59]

Sorry Cody. I think I would do exactly the same if I was in your shoes.
