Singer-guitarist Anders Osborne was the victim of theft on Friday, Aug. 9, and he’s asking the public to help locate three of his beloved instruments.
“Someone broke into my tour van at the Best Western hotel in Corte Madera in Marin County, CA last night after our Terrapin Crossroads show and stole three of my favorite guitars,” the musician wrote via Facebook on Saturday.
The stolen guitars include a 1968 Fender Stratocaster known as “Blackie” as well as a ’74 wine red Gibson Les Paul and a custom 2017 Les Paul made with mahogany wood and copper fittings from Osborne’s own historic home in New Orleans. Osborne’s pedals were stolen as well.
You can find pictures of each guitar below.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of Osborne’s instruments you can reach out directly to [email protected].

You’ve been trolling this site using a different screen name for a while now.
Sad lonely pathetic little creep that you are.
The comments were reported to the webmaster. They deleted your posts and ip addresses are being tracked.
Oh also you should know I gave the unpaid intern here a fat sack of some west coast flavor and soon there will be a knock on your mama’s door.
I’ll come and find you in the basement.
Keep posting baby bitch.
See you soon.

Good Karma beseeches your soul by all the joie de vivre you bring through music 🎶 to your many admirers… and to the ones that took your treasured babies away, remember bad just creates bad unto you, Karma can be a bitch too!

August 13, 2019 at 9:41 amoh boy, the Sunshine Garcia Becker water bottle story must have hit home and a nerve with somebody to be edited out… Here’s hope for the safe return Anders….Perhaps checkout pawn shops in the Oakland ‘hood between Berkeley and the Jack London Square waterfront? Stumbled into there by mistake after a Furthur Greek show, that is once place to avoid.

August 12, 2019 at 5:40 pmI just spoke with my family the REAL Sunshine Becker….
Those above comments are NOT made by her as suspected…
NOTE on post is Sunshine Becker Garcia and the other is Sunshine Garcia Becker.
This site has some serious highfalutin trolling BULLSHIT on it and their should be a formal way to register user names with a verifiable account/email address to put an end to this once and for all.

August 12, 2019 at 5:01 pmTotal rookie move on Anders part!!! Rule #1 for ANY traveling artist is that you bring your guitars / pedals to your room. Even a struggling new artist should know this!!!! No sympathy from me.
Carl Lindahl’s an asshole
August 12, 2019 at 5:17 pmWell then you’re just an asshole.

August 12, 2019 at 1:29 pmStealing is so wrong in so many ways, especially stealing tools someone uses to make a living. The black 68 strat defines Anders soul and life, it has been from Heaven to Hell and back with Anders and deserves to stay with Anders as long as he lives. This strat is very much a part of Anders, please, please, return it and let the man make music that soothes your soul and moves you. PLEASE !!!

August 12, 2019 at 11:45 amI once drove 3 hours to Sacramento to see Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, only to find a note on the club’s door that the show was cancelled. Someone had broken into the gear trailer the night before at their hotel in San Francisco and ripped off his guitars.

August 12, 2019 at 12:41 pmThere should be extra time on a sentence for stealing a person’s tools.

August 11, 2019 at 8:42 pmpeople gonna hate on Phil and Shapiro no matter what the circumstance. I’ve personally got no beef with either. I don’t like the fact that the last decade of Phil and Friends has become waaay to spacey for me and I can’t get into it anymore….but no beef
Thieves suck
August 11, 2019 at 12:14 pmHope they turn up.
