Last week, Tool guitarist Adam Jones unveiled his signature guitar. Now, Gibson and gear retailer Sweetwater music report than an entire pallet containing 13 of the limited edition 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst guitars has been stolen.
Sweetwater Chief Supply Chain and Merchandising Officer Phil Rich said in a press release, “Somehow out of a truck full of guitars, this ONE pallet was singled out and stolen at a truck stop. Totaling close to $95,000 in guitars, we feel this person/s knew exactly what to look for and when.”
Gibson fans are being asked to keep an eye out for the instruments and to ask any third party sellers for a serial number before purchasing to make sure they are not being sold a stolen guitar.
