R.E.M.- Peter Buck's Rickenbacker was Stolen

Placid Blue

Hey if anyone has an information about this stolen guitar, Please read the following and email or call the R.E.M. fanclub. Thanks. This truly sucks. The Rick has a sticker with an outline of a woman on it.



Sadly, Peter's signature Rickenbacker guitar was stolen from the stage immediately following tonight's performance in Helsinki, Finland. This is Peter's infamous signature Rick, which has been the staple of Peter's arsenal both live and in the studio since the band released Chronictown in 1982. Needless to say, this instrument means a great deal to Peter and to R.E.M. It is our sincere hope that whoever is responsible for the loss, or whoever has information which can help recover the guitar, will come forward to receive a generous reward, no questions asked.

Bump. I can only imagine how upsetting that must be for Peter. But how the hell did someone get out of the gig with a guitar under their arm??

Stuff like this never ceases to amaze me. Why would someone steal something that's worth so much musically and nostagically? ESPECIALLY as they won't even be able to sell it as it's too high profile!

I sincerly hope Peter gets this back and whoever has taken it can't look at it without feeling sick to their stomach.
