I had a much loved camera stolen once and it felt like a lost appendage, phantom pains and all. If someone swiped my guitars i do not know what i would do. PS: my camera was recovered when someone walked into the bar where i had been performing, left it on the bar and walked out. The bartender called me. Weird.

Before you give up, did you post a notice all around the area where it was stolen with a serieal number...did you contact the Police and make a teft report? Two of mine were stolen from a gig (a 1980 Guild F212XL 12 string and a new Hofner Beatle Bass). I reported it to the police, watched the eBay and Craigs List websites like a hawk, and delivered notices with pictures to the local Music Stores... Then after 6 weeks pretty much gave up on getting them back...started pricing an American made Guild 12 to replce mine and was aghast at the price of a new one...best deal I could get was $2400!!! I paid $800 for mine origianlly in 1980! Then out of the blue, six weeks later, I get a call from the local Guitar Center (not more than 5 miles from my house) that the guy came in to sell them for cash and then admitted stealing them when the Manager, who recognized the Guild from the picture on my flyer, confronted him (of course not until after the Police arrived)! Anyway, against all odds, I got them both back! So many stores and pawn shops won't touch anything they think might be stolen now days because if they are caught they get fined PLUS they lose the instruement AND their invested money.
If it is really gone, I would check eBay and Craigs List, although to be honest I wouldn't buy anything I hadn't played either! I really feel for you becasue I know fisrt hand what it feels like to be violated in this way...I'll keep an eagle eye out for you! Hey, on November 7th and 8th there is a big vintage guitar show in Pennsylvania called The Philly Vintage Guitar SHow that happens twice a year. If you are anywhere near you should try to go.
Here's the website:

Well boys, I have a dilemma. Our RV and trailer were stolen a few months ago right from the front door of the Holiday Inn in downtown Nashville. They found it the next morning (hard to hide one) a few blocks away but the SOBs got my faithful Blues King. I’ve been looking for a replacement ever since. I loved that little gibby parlor, but a new one is $2,200. Epi makes one the same basic make and shape for $299; never played one but doubt it would ever have the same soul as my Blues King. If anyone has a lead on a used Blues King, I'm interested. Or if anyone has a suggestion for another brand of parlor at about half the Gibson price, I'd love to hear it. I’ve been all over just trying to find a parlor sized guitar of any kind to play but they just don’t stock them. Sure don’t want to plop down a goodly sum to buy one on-line that I couldn’t play first. It would kill me to switch brands but there just aren't a lot of used Blues Kings out there. Couldn’t even find a new Blues King, or even the Epi, in stock at a Guitar Center. I bought mine from a mom and pop shop before Gibson dropped them all for Guitar Center; it was the last Gibson they ever sold. Anyway, here's hoping.

here's the LG0

Hello All,
I'm new to this group. My acoustic is a modified 1965 LG0 as I had to replace the top. The mahogany top came out and was replaced with a Martin spruce top. I also replaced the bridge with a new Gibson rosewood. I recently added a Fishman humbucker soundhole pickup...oh ya, I also put in a hummingbird pick guard (had to make it fit).
