    Bastards. Sorry to hear that. I was in Hexham this afternoon for a couple of hours...I'll keep an eye out locally.

    Hopefully the uniqueness of most of these will result in the thieves being caught... you never know.

    It's probably worth posting this in 'Guitars' and 'Basses' as well - since you've also lost an electric and a bass - I hope the mods won't mind, and Guitars in particular gets a lot more traffic than Acoustics.

    I've forwarded the link to the shop I work for in Glasgow.

    Forwarded to my local guitar dealership. He will pass word on to his trade contacts further afield.
    Be seeing you.

    Terrible. You should post on Facebook too, easier to share the info and have locals see it.

    Beware! If you are offered any of these beautiful instruments, they have been stolen from the maker's workshop

    That’s so sad, what amazing work. Shared on FB.

    If any good can come of this it’ll hopefully raise awareness of his talent.

    Good of you to mention it @Fatfumbs. There has been a previous thread on this and there are already members looking out for the guitars

    Yours is a good reminder.
