New England Product — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:14:00 GMT

My dear Products of New England, I have to admit: I have no sense of time or the calendar. I’m still blaming daylight savings time, but I woke up today and realized I owed you a blog.

First off, our dear friends in Thick as Thieves recently were robbed. Two pieces of equipment with great sentimental value were stolen, and the guys are absolutely heartbroken. There is no way they could put a dollar figure on the value of this gear, but they are willing to provide a reward for information leading to its return.

This guitar originally belonged to one of their fathers. It’s a '72 era Gibson SG Deluxe w/ a Bigsby tremolo..

Marshall 1976 50 watt Super Lead. The only thing unique that a thief wouldn't know off the bat is the fact that the ohm selector switch on the back is hard-wired to be in one position (not sure which - whatever ohms you need to run a single 4x12 cab) The lettering of Marshall is not complete and chipped off in the center.

If you have any information on this missing gear, please e-mail Aaron at forwordslost at gmail.com.

Now onto some happier news, upcoming events!

Thurs., 3/19

Great Scott - TAB the Band, Casey Desmond

Privus Lounge - Privus 1st Anniversary Party! Zak Broman and Michael V from the Pill will be spinning, there will be a fantastic runway show and visuals. And of course, delicious sushi.

See you then.
