Thanks heaps for your help Rog! And Captain Black, not to mention Scarecrow, it's been a team effort!
I went and saw the guitar today. It was mine, right down to the clear sparkly nailpolish on the machine heads. Bought it, have it safe and sound at home. Glad to get it back The guy who had it had bought it off trademe a couple of years ago, he is feeling really bad about accidently buying a stolen guitar. And I feel bad that he feels bad because really it can happen to anyone. Not his fault at all.
He bought if off TM a couple of years ago? Wouldn't that have been around when you lost it and when you would have been eyeing up trademe every day? Can't you check his trademe account to see who he bought it off/who they bought it off etc? At the very least we could know who to blacklist.

good result.. great result would be getting the guitar back and finding the scumbag(s) that stole it and videoing them dancing to nickelback till the filth get there.. who can then take their turn laughing at them dancing to nickelback.

Buying(?) stolen goods and flicking them off on trademe? I find fault there. Just sayin'.
Fencing aside, good to hear you have one of your beautiful guitars back.
