Guitars Reunited section in the classifieds

Antique_Guitars · July 2014

Looking at @Panama_jack666 thread we should have a guitars reunited sub section.

If your looking for a guitar or its owner this could be the place to look.

Also could list stolen gear there too

luscombe · July 2014

A great idea! How many times have you spoken to somebody who would love to be reunited with that 'special' guitar?

Deijavoo · July 2014

Great idea!

Oddly enough I always pine over a translucent blue epi les paul with seymour duncans I had as a kid learning.

Panama_Jack666 · July 2014

Yeah! Even if one guitar is re-united, it will be worth it.

I'm still on my quest for Martin Waller. I'm fairly confident it's not the one on linked in. I'm going to delve further into Google to see what I can find!

IanSavage · July 2014

There's a few I'd like to see again, to tell them that I've forgiven them, and good luck in the future...like the guitar geek version of a Bruce Springsteen song...

koneguitarist · July 2014

I would love to see my old Aria Pro II ES650, neck is probably way too small for me to play now, but it would be nice all the same, last seen 1980-81 Cardiff sound centre. or my old SG 70's with a Bigsby, body stripped and oiled. Last seen Yeovil area, 1988'ish. So many, if I had them all now at same time, I would put every uk guitar shop to shame !

stickyfiddle · July 2014

I'd love my old SG Special back. It was a 2003 Faded Special in worn brown. Ebony board and dot markers, which is a pretty rare combination and the ebony was stopped shortly after. I sold it in early 2006 and would still recognise it easily.

Antique_Guitars · July 2014

Looks like the force is strong with this idea, what say you mods?

ellangus · September 2014

Always on the lookout for my International Colour series Maui Blue Telecaster.

Bought in around 1983 from Rock Island in Oldham, sold around 4 - 5 years later to (Stoopid me) to The Guitar Player in Rochdale (Owned by The Same people who owned Rock Island - The bird Brothers).

Good idea. I posted a thread about my stolen Suhrs, but seems like a fine idea to collate all such experiences into one place

I'll second that, I think a 'stolen' sub-section would be a good idea.

axisus · September 2014

A stolen sub section would be good. I've nicked a few in my time that I need to move on discretely.................................. I jest of course!

xHymnal · September 2014

I'd love my Brubaker B2 back

Antique_Guitars · September 2014

So mod crew what do you think?

I’m retroactively amending all my comments for privacy’s sake. I know they’re cached in places, but this is still a best attempts effort. Mods - if any rules have been broken, please revert this post.

vasselmeyer · September 2014

I never sold anything that I didn't want to keep. However, I'd like back is the blonde Telecaster that I bought from The Rhythm House in Stockport around 1991. OK, it had six saddles, wasn't through-body stringing and had a poly finish but it was the first proper guitar I ever bought with my own money and some C**T STOLE IT.

I'd just got it personalised too with overwound Kent Armstrong pickups with a tap so I could have "more" or "normal". I pulled the tone control out (who uses the tone in a Tele anyway) and put in a mini dpdt toggle switch with centre off so I could do the morse code thing.

I'd love it back just to see if I still get on with it.

Tom_g · February 2015

My first guitar was a MIJ Morris strat copy that I butchered and now lives in the attic but would love to find another

Gru · February 2015

That's a good idea. :-)

Also, what's the possibility of splitting the guitar classified between electric and acoustic? Please :-D

I normally look for the latter, but the ratio must sometimes be 40-50:1.

I would create this as another post, but don't have 'meta' as option

JookyChap · March 2015

Great idea, though to keep it tidy, perhaps I could have my own sub-forum, as there have been quite a few...?

If you want anyone in particular to see the thread, you need to highlight it as I've done here; @Antique_Guitars . We don't read every thread by default ! Probably why nobody has responded mate ! The site admins are TTony, Digitalscream and Monquixote.

Handsome_Chris · April 2015

A whole section dedicated to the fact that by random chance a guitar finds it's way home?! @Emp_Fab, you are a very special person.

A more useful section would be events, which can be a home for threads for Guitar Shows, Gas-fests, and drinkies. rather that them finding their way into Gear>Guitar , Off Topic, Studio and Recording, and Making Music.

Indeed it would

@digitalscream @monquixote - weren't you guys looking at something like that?

Antique_Guitars · April 2015

We need a section dedicated to pringles!

monquixote · April 2015

I know we talked about a bands section

Handsome_Chris · April 2015

The crisps, or the jumpers?

Handsome_Chris · April 2015

@digitalscream and @monquixote, how much effort is requried to set up a new section or sub-section?

TTony · April 2015

Little to no effort to set up a section, but we don't really want sections with bugger all posts in them. This would likely be a very quiet section.

Indeed.

I really don't like to see little used categories. I suspect guitars reunited and events would both be quite quiet, but a "bands" section would be a good idea.

I've got to scoot out the door due to work commitments; however, here is a quick list of ten threads that, I believe, could have used a proper "Events" home. They might not be many, but if they have a proper place to reside, they won't be rapidly buried by other threads less useful threads.

What with the general election going the rounds, should we have a referendum for this?

What you talkin' 'bout ? I didn't suggest it.

Howdy, Stranger!
