Stolen guitar bouzouki found

I got an email last week from a chap in the NE of England to tell me he had found one of the many instruments stolen from my workshop in 2018.

Attachment 183523

The recovered instrument is a 10 string long scale guitar bouzouki in spruce and wenge. I'd made it to sell through my mailing list - I no longer have an "Available now" page on my site, but do sell 3-5 instruments a year via my list. Anyway, it was stolen...but now its been returned which is great news.

Here is the gzouk a few days before she was stolen:

THe gzouk is on its way to a friend in the UK trade - a luthier friend of mine who will give her the once-over and a full set up. Then if all is well the gzouk will be up for grabs via my newsletter.

Great news, Nigel. Hopefully the first of a trend.
What a great-sounding instrument, too.

Congratulations Nigel, I'm really glad to hear you got this beauty back. I hope there were some clues in the discovery of this one that will lead to the return of others as well.

Good news

Glad to hear that, Nigel, and hope there are more to come...
