Re: Jennifer Batten's Guitar Has Been Stolen

There can't be too many people out there that would want it... I mean, a super Strat with THAT headstock?

Kidding of course. I hope she recovers it soon!
 
Re: Jennifer Batten's Guitar Has Been Stolen

I hope she finds it soon. It sucks having stuff stolen........:28:
 
Re: Jennifer Batten's Guitar Has Been Stolen

If you're going to leave your gear unattended, don't do it in Portland Oregon. Those aren't messengers or students riding fixie bikes with a guitar strapped to their backs, they're thieves! haha
 
Re: Jennifer Batten's Guitar Has Been Stolen

It's a pretty distinctive guitar (with all the sigs, Roland pu, and tribal graphic), so if anyone tries to flog it on or sell it, there a fair likelihood of it being spotted for what it is.

I don't know how true this is, but I hear that there's a large black market for collector celebrity guitars, especially in Asia.

But still who steals a really distinctive celebrity guitar? They can't sell it to the general public or can't take it out for gigs because it would be spotted immediately. It's probably just some obsessed fan for a thief who doesn't know what they've got.

That's what I was thinking. I'll bet that sucker plays and sounds great. JB JR. bridge pickup and Duck Buckers for the neck and middle.

Duck Buckers - never tried them. "They're the coolest brightest, stratiest-non-noisiest-pickups I've heard" according to Jennifer's quote on her website.
 
Re: Jennifer Batten's Guitar Has Been Stolen

Good news. That guitar looks like shyte anyway, contorted in every corner.
 
Re: Jennifer Batten's Guitar Has Been Stolen

hope it doesn't end up in the same place they found Lynch's 'Mr Graffiti' guitar.

I'm going to laugh if it gets listed on eBay.


I'm using Tapatalk on my mobile phone. I apologize in advance for any grammar/spelling issues. I blame the phone.

Is guitar thievin' a bigger than average pastime there?

Yeah ! It probably affects how it plays and sounds too; Looks bad , sounds bad...

What sort of guitar appearance sounds best to you Verbo ? :foot:

I'm not trying to make a gross generalization, but I lived there a couple years, and all the kids I knew used to talk about burglarizing a whole lot more than any other other place I lived. The only time I've ever had a guitar stolen was when I lived up there. I guess that was the root of my comment.

I have one, nice pickup but not much volume. It's hard to match up with anything.
 
Re: Jennifer Batten's Guitar Has Been Stolen

According to SD's twitter feed, woman & guitar have been reunited.
 
Re: Jennifer Batten's Guitar Has Been Stolen

Sucks (but awesome it was recovered). Remember that stolen bike video where that dude and his girlfriend stole a road bike in Portland to sell in Seattle via craigslist and got busted?
 
Re: Jennifer Batten's Guitar Has Been Stolen

Hope she got it back. I saw her play at Apple music a little over a month ago. Grate player.
