MAC WISEMAN's stolen 1943 Gibson Guitar

[wretchasketch]

I apologize, realizing this is a mandolin forum, but I thought it might be of interest...or maybe someone can help. Mr. Wiseman posted a video of him and the guitar on Facebook with the following: "MAC PLAYING HIS 1943 SUNBURST GIBSON :STAMPED 910b
THIS GUITAR WAS USED, WITH BILL AND ALSO EARL AND I USED THIS ON THE FIRST MERCURY SESSION, FOR 2 SONGS AND EARL USED IT ON 2 GOSPEL SONGS, IT IS A HUGH PART OF MUSIC HISTORY, IT WAS STOLEN SOME YEARS BACK, I STILL PINE FOR THE DAY I CAN GET IT BACK, PLEASE ALWAYS BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THIS GUITAR, THE LOWLIFE THAT STOLE IT KNOWS WHO HE IS,"

Here is a link to Mac's facebook post.

There is a category under the Classifieds where you can list stolen instruments.

I just realized the irony of that statement.....

THE LOWLIFE THAT STOLE IT KNOWS WHO HE IS

Kind of makes you wonder if Mac has an idea who it was that took it.

[Spruce]

Maybe like the Tottenberg Strad that recently surfaced...
Nina and the family (including her dad) knew who took it, but didn't have enough proof to proceed...

Turns out they were right...

[MikeEdgerton]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Then there's the D-18 #196835 stolen from me about 1977 in Kalamazoo, I still that that LOWLIFE is still around but, pretty sure he doesn't frequent anyplace this pleasant.
It was on loan while my avatar inlay project was being done. Makes me sick to think about!

In 1963 Charlie Daniel's Gretsch guitar was stolen. Many years later somebody bought the carcass of a Gretsch off eBay and when they received noticed it had a second fingerboard sandwiched on top of the original. When they pulled it off they saw it had been inlaid with Charlie Daniels' name . They contacted him and Charlie got his guitar back. It's restored now and in the Charlie Daniel's museum in Nashville (It's in the back of a store). This one was gone almost 40 years if I recall.
