Description

The guitar is a 1979 Gibson Thunderbird S/N # 72229040. It was taken on or about August 17, 2002 in St. Louis, MO or in the Evansville,In / Henderson, KY areas. It is natural in color. It has several distinctive features. The pickups are black Bartolini Hi-A's with "HI-A" embossed on the front. The pickguard is a custom made rnblack/white/black laminate with a white Christian fish on it. The input jack (on the front by the controls on this model) is mounted on a large silver dollar sized black brass washer. The original jack broke through the body, hence the large washer. I believe the rear control panel cover is cracked. It also has the large nickel tuning keys and a Hip-Shot detuner on the "E" string. The case had my name (Eric L......) stenciled on it. but was painted over some time back. However, you can still see my name through the paint. rnrnI bought this bass new and it has covered many miles with me. It is scratched, dinged, and well worn. rnNeedless to say, I am very attached to it. There is a SUBSTANTIAL reward for it's return, with no questions asked. There was a police report filed on it and it is registered in the NCIC computer system. I can be reached at eric_plays_bass@yahoo.com rn THANKS!rnrn
