Here’s the Message from their Facebook post:
Hi — Thurston Moore had his 1966 (circa) Fender Jazzmaster stolen from the Best Western in Philadelphia (501 N 22nd St) last night 12-12-12 around 12 midnight. It’s Thurston’s iconic Sonic Youth black Jazzmaster with all the stickers on its body. Here’s a couple of photos. A police report has been filed. Please email us if anyone tries to sell this relic to yur store, it would be appreciated. Please forward to other guitar stores you may know in the area.

Thanks,

Thurston

This came about because of this site. They don’t seem to have an archive of articles that is publicly available, so you’ll have to track down a hard copy, but the article was quite in-depth, covering all aspects of counterfeits.

We’re working on a whole new site design with more automation and far more capabilities by the end of the year. I don’t have time to get into details here, but the redesign is massive.

Thanks for stopping by and sticking with us. Its time to start growing as a project, and with your support, we’ll be able to start recovering gear again.
