• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

This morning I was sickened to learn that Music and More in Davie, FL was robbed early Saturday Morning. No that I would wish this on anyone but Tom Snellgrove, the owner, is one of the nicest people on the planet and has done more for me in terms of education and guitars in general.

I knw its a long shot but I'm posting this on as man boards as possible, you never know what somene might find. Some of these guitars are quite rare or one of a kind so any help is greatly appreciated.
Music and More (aka Premier Guitars)
was broken into and robbed early this morning.

Please be on the lookout for suspicious sales
of the following guitars that were stolen:

1) 2002 Goodall Grand Concert Cutwawy, AAA Koa/Engleman. The Glades Gang reviewed this guitar a while back and there's probably a pic of it somewhere in my archives. I'll try to post it later. But it's a very nicely flamed set of koa and the guitar has a Schertler Bluestick pickup installed with the very obvious blue pickup jack.

2) 2002 Godin LGX-SA, Cognac-burst, with RMC pickup system, dual buckers, 13-pin midi jack.

3) 2002 Gretsch Tennessean, Cherry stain

4) 1963 Martin D-28. Brazilian/Sitka. Good condition for a guitar of this age.

5) 1992 Gibson L-5 Wes Montgomery model, tobacco burst, single hard mount pickup, other wise looks like a standard L-5.

6) 1968 ES-335 Dot, tobacco burst, heavy finihs checking. Orange label. Comes in a black case with gold lining.

I will post serial numbers as soon as I have that information.

If you come across any suspicious Ebay auctions, ads or classifieds that feature any of these guitars please contact:

Music & More
3731 SW 47th Ave
Suite 401
Davie, FL 33314
954-791-2616
Tom Snellgrove (tommy6string@earthlink.net

Or you can contact myself at samuelliebman@yahoo.com

This was definetely done by someone who knew the lay out of the tint shop ver well as a hole cut through the wall, the phone lines were cut, etc. To make matters worse, mostof the items stolen were not actual inventory but rather guitars waiting to go out to our local luthier/god for repair.

I know its only guitars and not the end of the world but feeling of being violated, especially by someone you know has been in the shop before is terrible.

Again, thaks for reading and if you see anything like this on ebay or brought in to a shop please let me or Tom know, any help is greatly appreciated.
