Custom Maccaferri Style Acoustic Guitar
Location: San Francisco, CA
Recovered from thief.
The custom made guitar was stolen from a classical pianist musician from her home in San Francisco. Inside the case was sheet music of original songs. After the police informed the victim that there was very little chance of recovery, she contacted Screaming Stone. Screaming Stone publicized the information - and within two days was contacted by another musician who had purchased the stolen guitar from someone selling it on the streets of San Francisco. That musician, a professional classical and jazz guitarist, purchased the $3000 guitar for $150. A few days later that musician saw Screaming Stone's stolen instrument notice on Myspace and contacted us. Amazingly, the original owner's sheet music of original songs was still in the case.
