As you may have read, 72 autographed guitars were stolen from the storage unit of the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in Portland. Recent reports of recovered guitars in the Portland area note that those recoveries do not include any of the OMHOF guitars. These guitars were autographed for auction to raise money for music education and scholarship programs. They include guitars signed by The Monkees, George Clinton, Lucinda Williams, Arlo Guthrie and Portugal. The Man; as well as guitars signed by each OMHOF annual group of inductees. We are now offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the recovery of these instruments. We need help from all of you to recover and restore these precious instruments like the handcrafted “State of Oregon” guitar shown below. They may currently be for sale online or through a variety of outlets like music stores and pawn shops.
