R.E.M. Signature Guitar Stolen Finnair Stadium in Helsinki, Finland, reward offered
R.E.M. has been hit by the stolen equipment epidemic, as Peter Buck's signature guitar was taken from the stage following a gig in Helsinki, Finland.
The band is asking for information about the whereabouts and offering a reward for the black Rickenbacker 360 guitar, which Buck has used periodically since the band's debut Chronic Town EP.
"This instrument means a great deal to Peter and to R.E.M.
It is our sincere hope that whoever is responsible for the loss, or whoever has information which can help recover the guitar, will come forward to receive a generous reward." The band's spokesperson said.
Though the guitar has not yet been located, there is an active investigation and we are all hopeful that the guitar will eventually be returned. We still would like to hear from anyone with information which could assist us, which may be shared anonymously if desired.
