Are you gonna get the cops onto it? Or are you just gonna try and get it back off the guy?

I'm really a bit confused at the moment about it. I'm trying to get hold of someone to see if they know the address of the person etc and look for some advice on how to proceed

Report it to the cops immediately. Also call TM and let them know what's happened and ask for the vendor's details to be given to the police.

Great spotting Steve!

As far as your next steps. Wouldn't it be best to contact the police and trademe?

I hope this works out for you and you can recover the guitar.

Really cool that it's turned up though, after all this time. Hope you get it back for your dad!

There is a 1996 ES 135 with a Gibson bag for sale on TradeMe at a very low start price.

Definitely contact T/Me preferably in person, take photos you have of the gat and suggest they look at the beginning of this thread which will serve to back up your allegation.
Insist they call the plod!
When you have it back and the prosecution is finished, then send someone to teach him a second lesson.

You can also show them this thread. It's got a photo and the post dates are verifiable.

Edit: Sorry Alan; you already said that :oops:

Doesn't it feel good when you catch the bastards out !
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
