I saw this on a website somewhere else and thought I would post this here as many of you guys may know these guitars personally having played them or seen them played.


"Don Ross and Brooke Miller Ripped OFF! - Please help!

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------

just got this from don's mailing list... please help if you have any info.

Hi everyone,

Brooke Miller and I were victims of a van break-in last night in
Montreal. We were on our way home from a really great tour on
Canada's east coast and decided to stop for an hour in Montreal and
have some dinner. We were only a short distance from the vehicle and
only for a short time, but it was evidently enough time for thieves
to break into the van and steal many valuable things. Please keep an
eye out for these items. The guitars that were stolen are custom
instruments and difficult to pawn off, but they may show up on eBay
or other online auction sites. We will offer a reward for the return
of anything we've lost, no questions asked.

Please forward this information to any online forums that may prove
helpful. Thanks.

Here's the list:

*GUITAR: Michael Greenfield custom G2 steel-string acoustic guitar,
serial number 093, belonging to Brooke Miller. Spruce top, rosewood
back and sides. Lower case "g" on the headstock. Beveled armrest, no
cutaway. K&K mic/pickup system installed (microphone visible in
soundhole). Was in white Calton case with a small plaque inscribed:
"Greenfield Guitars, Montreal, Canada. 514-499-1352."

*GUITAR: Marc Beneteau custom long-scale steel-string acoustic
guitar, serial number 130105, belonging to Don Ross. Spruce top,
cocobolo back and sides. Upper case "B" on the headstock. Beveled
armrest, no cutaway. K&K mic/pickup system installed (microphone
visible in soundhole). Was in black soft gig bag with "Ring Music,
Toronto" printed on the side.

*COMPUTER: Apple Macintosh 15" PowerBook G4. Serial number
W8548NESSWZ, belonging to Don Ross. Silver colour. 1.67 GHz model.

*STAGE GEAR: Countryman E6 wireless headset microphone, beige colour.
Sennheiser wireless transmitter & receiver units.

*IPOD: Apple 20 GB iPod, while colour. Inscribed on back: "To Don &
Brooke. Many years of happiness together." (or something close to
that!).

If you have information about these items, please contact Don Ross at
gobyfish@mac.com or Brooke Miller at info@brookemiller.ca. Our voice
mail is 416.520.0092. You can also contact the Montreal Police,
Station 37 at 514.280.0637.

Thanks, everyone!

man that would p!33 me off.

This happened back in October (24th, I think). Anyone know if there's been any good news? I've got a passing acquaintance with Beneteau guitars, so I know this theft has got to hurt...lots.

It's an ugly world out there sometimes, in spite of all the art and music we like to surround ourselves with.

Peace, Mike.
