ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!!



- On May 23rd, 2008 two of my GUITARS WERE STOLEN from the stage at the Head Crash Club in Hamburg, Germany while on tour with T.M. Stevens' SHOCKA ZOOLOO. These are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT CUSTOM MADE GUITARS built for ME and it is a painful thing to have these taken in such a way. PLEASE READ THE BLOG I WROTE ABOUT IT and LOOK AT MY PHOTOS for more details and to view pictures of the stolen instruments. ANY HELP in getting these returned to me will be rewarded - IF YOU KNOW WHO TOOK THESE, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND LET ME KNOW or drop them off to Thomas Weilbier at No. 1 Guitar Center in Hamburg, Germany - no questions asked, i just want these back. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. - Michael.
