Blue alert! Stolen blues guitar in Delaware

This is a stolen guitar alert. Since it's a bluesman's guitar, that makes this a blue alert.

The guitar in question is a red Gibson SG Jr., serial number 6000096.

The owner, Tom Larsen, reported his Gisbson as stolen after he last saw it on Saturday, October 8. From his description of the Gibson SG Jr.:
It had a tremolo bar on it with a slim metal shaft topped by white plastic. The P-90 was replaced by a humbucker that had a small toggle switch allowing for changing from double-coil to single-coil.
Mostly, it is very recognizable because of the 30+ years of wear on the finish. The finish was worn off down to the bare wood at the bottom right side (where your right arm would rest).
The case was original and very worn also, with bare wood showing through and duct tape holding it all together.
Larsen had just used the SG Jr. at his gig at Irish Eyes in Lewes, Delaware, on that Saturday night. "It was taken at some point during loud-out," he says.

If you have any information about the guitar, send Larsen an e-mail to "Tom Larsen Band," all one word, "at Gmail dot com."
