They were stolen from the Chattanooga area. Sounds like about 5 instruments. They only wanted 8K for them that’s what got them caught.

I bet they were stolen from Songbirds in Chattanooga. I bet they were keeping it quiet because they didn’t want to spook the thieves as it was investigated.

That they won’t tell Nashville TV who it was makes me think there are more stolen guitars out there.

Probably, it was also,of,note that they sent another guy to pick,them up. So who ever the original thieves are now the jig is up. Sounds like one guitar was a 50s Les Paul Burst.

Hope we get more of this story one day. Hope no guitars are destroyed or end up in the hands of some rogue collector.

Guy I grew up across the street from still lives there. shite neighborhood. He has a first year 1952 gold top Les Paul that he bought from an old lady in 1992. It was a case queen. Mint condition. Appraised for $25,000 in the early 90s. Gotta be in $100s thousands range now. Was worried when I first heard this but I doubt they got it from him. Billy is armed to the teeth.

Carter's is an absolute must stop. It may the best guitar shop I've ever been to. Gruhn's is great as well. The Gibson Garage is pretty cool, but nothing like the other two. Honestly, there are dozens of places with cool gear in Nashville.

Carters is a must since they moved across the street, ask to see the EVH tool box, it's my favorite thing.

also check out the Rumble Seat just down the from Carters and before you get to Gruhn's. on 8th
