Nontheless, must be terrible for the guy. Sounds like a very specifically targeted theft. Bank vault stylee.
I know a couple of people with north of 500 vintage guitars accumulated over the last 40 year and in storage in the US. It tends to be old Fender, Gibson, BC Rich, Hamer and Travis Bean stuff for electrics for one of the guys I deal with regularly.
it’s a different game I think.
At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.
* Music Man Luke 1, Luke II
Please drop me a message.
Les Paul junior in sunburst!?) I really hope they find them but I can’t help but fear they were either stolen to order or they will be sold to a collector who is very private. I hope that’s not the case though and they are recovered.
I do think collecting all the cool guitars just to stick in a vault and not be played ever is wrong though.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Very sad for the guy though, as that’s a *lot* to lose.
Has anyone visited Doncaster recently?
I´m certain money plays a big role. I mean, if some distant relative died and left me with some unexpected millions my collection would grow daily. After all, you can only spend it while you´re alive and I´m not into golf and 3 Michelin star dinners.
I wonder how many will be sold as they are and, in this market, how many will be chopped and sold as parts?
Many have turned out to be fantastic investments over the years, so there is that to it.
The unfortunate thing is when your investment is stolen.
I hope the victim was insured.

They're greedy bastards who keep the nice stuff out of circulation and push up the prices of vintage gear.
