Good luck to whom ever stole it. He could bury it for 40 years, and when it surfaces, everyone will still know to whom it belongs!

My condolences to Junior Brown, though. It is a tough thing to get ripped off like that. Tanya Rae, as well.

So Sad...

Not his first rodeo, so fingers crossed, they were insured I hope.

Seems like it would be difficult to fence something so unique. Best wishes for a speedy return!

I live in the area and will keep an eye out. Whoever stole it probably has no idea what it is or what to do with it.

But my first thought was: Junior Brown was playing in my area and I missed it!

Ol’ Yeller is being fetched from a museum so they can finish the tour... a new guitar is being constructed. Mr Brown is looking for vintage Mustang/Duo Sonic pickups if anyone has some.

From what I understand, the Stringmaster style D-6 console steel used the same pickups as the Duo-Sonic. Learned that on the internet so, grain of salt.

It might have been easier to steal and then try to fence the Statue of Liberty.
