I noticed that Mark's site has a new message:

Stolen Guitars
December 5, 2019

Can everyone keep an eye out for any of these guitars being offered for sale – they were stolen recently in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.

– 1969 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop Deluxe, had neck/headstock repairs/fitted with Roland GKII synth pick-up

– Fender MK Stratocaster, serial #SE00523, has additional three Schecter style min-toggle switches to control Graphtech ghost midi system, (mode/midi/acoustic), tone knob acts as volume for the midi. Also has a Fishman wireless midi pick-up fitted

– Santa Ana Acoustic – black/blue sunburst

any info trev@trevorsewell.com

His site also has photos of them.  I wonder if they are Mark's, and who is Trevor Sewell, an employee of British Grove?  It seems a pretty gutsy move to steal three guitars at once!

It's amazing how often the instruments get stolen. Mark had one of his Schecters stolen, Paul McCartney had his violin bass stolen. Some people have no shame!
