This is great news. And just adds to the mythos when you're rich & famous and send it to Christie's for a charity thing, right?

Ha ha, I obviously can’t sell it now

Brilliant news! Really pleased for you.

Hopefully the thieving, low-life scumbags that stole it from you get what they deserve.

Is it fair to assume that the vast majority of expensive guitars in cash converters are stolen?

Yes, any higher-end ones will be. Who would legitimately sell one for a fraction of its value?

Thats not really a fair statement about CC or normal people suddenly needing money. They are a pawnshop, and as far as Im aware carry out all required legal checks.

 Count yourself lucky youve never had to use one.

I've had to sell stuff when money has been tight. I never considered pawning anything as that would mean either getting a pittance and losing it, or paying too much to get it back... neither is a good option.

My experience working for one of them - not CC - is that they don't ask as many questions as they should. I very much doubt most people who can afford high-end guitars in the first place would pawn them.

(Edit - saw musicman100's post after I posted mine. That's the last I will say.)

Right team, just wanted to say another thank you for all your support and kind words, I have been humbled over the past 3 weeks. 
the guitar is due back tomorrow, i’m both excited and anxious at the same time if you get what I mean. I’ll keep you posted but fingers crossed it arrives back safe and sound.

Almost exactly what I said in this thread on the 30th. Tough crowd here... 

@musicman100 ;*  I had no intention to derail your thread in any way or to trivialise your situation.
Looking forward to hearing about a happy ending.

I'm really pleased for you @musicman100

I've been thinking about this threadand feeling sad  on and off ever since you first posted it: it's so nice to see something turn out with a good ending for a change!

Pictures or it didn’t happen!

I'm quietly hoping that when he gets it back the thieving toerag has at least done the decent thing and upgraded the pickups to some EMGs.
