[Bay Area Blues ] RT's guitars missing after trip This is on facebook,
but thought I'd pass it along. The Silvertone is an acoustic with a duct taped pickup
in the sound hole. I've seen him play both these guitars many times. -Stan

"RON THOMPSON on a trip home from Poznan, Poland on Aug. 2, 2010
never got his guitars while going through customs in Washington, DC. Dulles Airport. He
came through Frankfurt to Washington to San Fransisco.
A White Fender Stratocaster and a Silvertone (Stella) style acoustic
with pickup. They were in a double sided padded gig bag, black in color. This is
a long shot putting it out on facebook but stranger thing have happen through the
power of the internet."
