Saw this on their FB page (most of you know who they are. If not, they are a vintage dealer with impressive inventory that Phil X does demos for)
Keep a vigilant eye out!

Oh shit! That sucks. They have some high dollar stuff. I hope they get it back safe and sound. I fucking hate thieves.
 
Once they're able to release the make/model/SN it's going to make it a lot easier for the buying public to help out. Dustin said they're waiting for the detectives to finish up before they can do that.
 
Whoever stole those will undoubtably get caught when they try to sell. Douchebags.

They were smart enough to breach the security system and steal high dollar "select" items, so unfortunately they probably know what they are doing. :thumbsdown:

Surely they understand that Fretted Americana have records of the serial numbers, so they will probably just sell within their own "off the record" network. For example, some people would anxiously jump at the opportunity to own a 1958, 1959, or 1960 LP for 1/2 the going rate.........despite the fact that they could not tell others what they had.
 
I guess there's also the possibility that the guitars have left the US?
 
I heard Phil was stoned and left the front door unlocked.
 
Sounds like an insurance scam to me. :)

If its not, good luck getting them back. Bad deal.
