I can't really imagine how much those are worth but i'm guessing at least half a million euro's/dollars...
It's a big music store so they'll probably be able to handle it financially, but still, i wish them the best of luck finding them and hanging those bastards who stole them

wow. that sux for them. maybe they will show up on ebay and the robber(s) will be caught.

That sux, but which is it a 30,000 Euro or 25,000 Euro reward, and I bet it was an inside job! Those type of guitars tend to be secured and Insured rather well!

They should do what one of the music shops/cafe here in chicago does. I went to pick one up and the guitars were handcuffed to the wall.

Yesterday it was 25000 in red, now 30000. I guess they forgot to update the small text.

Wow I guess we need to keep an eye on future JCF "Check out my family" posts!

Oooof, some heavy kit there, I would have though the custom shop stuff with the graphics would be very hard to shift on.

When I read the title "Huge guitar theft" I immediately assumed it was one single gigantic guitar.

wasnt this posted a while ago? or it was a very similar one.. it will be nigh on impossible to move these guitars for the ammount of money they're worth, unless they were stolen on order.

but what good is it, if you cant show it off

Rich Japanese are known for buying stolen art and displaying it only to trusted friends in secret rooms. I wonder if a similar subculture could evolve for high-end guitars?

Or it could be an insurance scam as stated; I'm sure the insurance company will investigate thoroughly before paying any claims.

how do u even steal 50 guitars, there had to be at lest 5+ people to pull it off

that sucks for the music store

but that had to be some good thievery to get away with it

Out of all those guitars at least a couple will pop up for sale somewhere and hopefully they get the guys, no doubt inside job. Those guitars are too unique to get rid of easily, whats up with the reward? Isn't that pretty high? 44,000 USD seems big for those guitars at dealer prices which is the actual loss.
