hi everyone, we are sad to be sending out this news alert but joe
and his management wanted to send out an appeal to all of you fans out
there to keep your eyes peeled for this stolen guitar.

here's a message from joe that sums it all up:

My "Pearly" Chrome Ibanez guitar was stolen last night during load
out at the Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Fl. If anyone knows
anything about this please let us know asap...Not much else to
say...Joe...

a reward of $500 is being offered, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. all joe is asking
is to have the guitar brought to the venue and given to the hall or
production manager.

joe had two prototypes made by ibanez for the custom chrome
guitar. both "Pearly" and "Chrome Boy" have been played extensively on
tour and record. joe is obviously hopeful that the guitar will be
recovered.

here's a link to a recent picture of joe with pearly:
