STOLEN 2 x Blackmachine B2 guitars
Doug from Blackmachine has just rung me and told me that one of his first customers has had a burglary and had all his music gear stolen
Amongst this stuff (music gear stolen included 6 guitars/3 saxophones/mixing desk etc)were 2 very unique one of a kind B2 guitars - see pics below
As these are one of a kinds then if you see them or are offered them then they are STOLEN.
I believe the robbery was in Wakefield, Yorkshire, UK
Please be on the look out for them - nobody would want to go through what this poor chap is going through.
If you see them contact myself or Doug - or local police
Please share this amongst your friends and facebook /forums etc

That's horrible, it must be every musician's worst nightmare. Hopefully they'll show up somewhere. I'm worried that sometimes thieves simply ditch stuff that's too hot to sell, and those guitars are definitely very unique.
-
It's likely the thieves won't realise how unique those guitars are, so trying to sell them could be their undoing.
I hope they (and the other gear) end up back with their rightful owner.
-
I'll keep an eye out for those as it's local. I saw a dude busking with one like the second years ago in leeds. I was amazed when i saw someone busking with such an expensive guitar.
-
I hope the owner gets his stuff back. The scum resposible are beneath contempt.

Aye, likewise (I'm just up the road from Wakey).

Correction - I think it may have been Leeds

Correction - I think it may have been Leeds
It's still fairly local. I hope the guy gets his stuff back. I know how this feels. I got robbed when i lived in leeds. I did eventually get one of the guitars back though a couple of years later when it turned up in a shop.

This kind of thing angers me to the point of barely-contained fury. Us musicians have it hard enough, but for someone to come along and steal something that was probably painstakingly saved-up for (and waited for...dat waiting list!)... just makes me want to find them and flay the skin from their backs. And the rest.
I shared this on FB, hopefully the power of social media will really come into its own.
Hopefully any music shop worth their salt will see a couple of scrotes with some guitars they clearly don't own and do something about it. It's a small hope, but like someone said, these lowlife probably don't know what they've got and think they can palm it off on the first shop they come to. Or ebay (which would work better for the musical community at large, as all it takes is putting "Blackmachine" in the search bar every couple of days.)
As you can tell, I feel very strongly about this kind of stuff. I don't have any custom gear... or any expensive gear at all, really, but what I do have has been really hard to obtain. I don't earn much, and added to my younger-me's stupidity I have a huge amount of debt, so saving up and finally getting something I want is an issue very close to my heart. To think that some utter c**t can come along and take away all that you've worked so hard for... well, let's just say pacifist Nadz goes away for a while, and raging, chaotic evil, torture-specialist Nadz fills the vacancy.

Saw this on your FB page as well, terrible to see. Not likely for these to end up in my neck of the woods, but I'll keep my eye open.
-
I am fairly certain the blackmachines must surface as the flame versions are rare by blackmachine standards. There will be no compensation for anyone buying them (buying stolen goods), they will be returned to the owner.
As for the rest of the gear, how horrible. There are not enough harsh words to describe the scum.

A few burglaries reported on here recently. I'm sorry to hear this news. How awful! Some people who believe they can simply take what they can't afford themselves from people who work hard to do so.
-
That's awful, hope he gets them back. Will keep an eye out.
-
Saw last night that Jeff Loomis and his band have had everything taken from their tour van, too. Seriously, the world is rife with it at the moment!
Sickening.

What a awful thing to happen! I agree with Nadzilla, its the amount of saving/waiting this person must have done to obtain those guitars that must make this hard to endure-hope they find whoever took the stuff and get that gear back!
