Quoted from Kevan's facebook page:

Quote:

STOLEN GUITAR ALERT!!!! My Ibanez Universe UV777PBK was stolen last night in California. The guitar is IMMEDIATELY recognizable due to the pearloid pickguard, Steve Vai signature on the back of the headstock, Tremol-No installed, and countersunk strap buttons. If you see this guitar online anywhere, please contact me immediately. Thanks.

Guitar was stolen in California from Frank Falbo's (of Seymour Duncan fame) car apparently. Please keep an eye out, Kevan and Frank are both great guys and there were some interesting Duncan demo units in that guitar.

If you have any information or may have found it, email kevan at jemfest dot com.

Damn that is aweful.

Kevan and Frank are great guys. Will keep an eye out for sure.

someone sticky this bullshit.

Things like this make me irate. The fact that someone would steal an instrument that was paid for with hard work seems absolutely disrespectful and the person who stole it should be severely punished. (put in prison for a few years for grand larsony(sp?) at least)

Pathetic.

lateralus819 · 02-07-2010, 03:04 PM

Although this truly sucks, this is one reason to NOT leave prized items in a vehicle. I know you should have the right to, but there is to many scumbags around.

TemjinStrife · 02-07-2010, 03:08 PM

Guitar was stolen in California. Keep an eye out on Craigslist and the like.

Apparently an entire block's worth of cars were broken into, and the guitar was one of many items that disappeared.

Again, it's a black UV with multi-ply binding, abalone pyramid inlay on the body, and pearloid pickguard. Signed by Mr. Vai himself on the back of the headstock.

Besides it being absolutely awful for the instrument

Bleak · 02-07-2010, 03:16 PM

I'll definitely keep an eye out on the interwebz.

Holy fuck, Frank lives a few blocks from me, and my street had a series of break-ins about a month ago. Our town is generally really safe and whatnot, but this is redonk.

iondestroyer1527 · 02-08-2010, 12:32 PM

hahaha, whats the difference between this and any form of theft? guitars are more important than other things? i probably agree

TheSixthWheel · 02-08-2010, 09:59 PM

My condolences on the UV. Hope it's located, especially without damage from any rushed attempt to disguise it.

Guitars are definitely more important than a lot of things.
