Stolen Guitar: 1992 Alvarez-Yairi DY62C

I worked on this guitar back in 2017 (click here for the post) and was recently contacted by the original owner. He told me it was stolen from him years back in Colorado and is looking to get it back as it has a ton of sentimental value to him.

The last I heard, it was sighted at a Maine thrift store last year. Someone contacted me about it because he was wondering why it wound-up there. I only worked on it for whoever had it at the time so I don't know much else about its history.

Please get in touch with me and I will forward information on to the original owner.

I wish him luck. My Tama TG 80 (one of which you've featured Jake), which I'd had since new at age 16 in the late 70s, having worked my butt off on a farm to buy it, ended up being hocked/pawned by a friend for $40 in approx 1990. I cannot say how much I've missed that guitar over the years.

Unbelievably, I found it yesterday on an interstate music shop site (and oh yes, I had to pay, believe me!). It had been retrieved from a back room of...yes...that same hock shop/pawn store more than 30 years later...unbelievable. Very dirty, but still in its hard case. Once cleaned off - still in fabulous condition. I cannot wait to have it delivered. So yes, all the best - you never know, and well worth publicising this way.
