Signature Rickenbacker Stolen From Peter Buck After Finland Show

Peter Buck of REM Rickenbacker Guitar

Iggy isn’t the only rockstar that someone would have the nerve to burgle. Someone snatched Peter Buck’s guitar from the stage immediately after a show in Finland on Wednesday. And considering it is the one he would pick if he could only play a single guitar for the rest of his life, it’s no wonder they are offering a reward, no questions asked, for his signature Rickenbacker 360 JetGlo.

 

R.E.M.’s official website reads:

“Sadly, Peter’s signature Rickenbacker guitar was stolen from the stage immediately following tonight’s performance in Helsinki, Finland. This is Peter’s infamous signature Rick, which has been the staple of Peter’s arsenal both live and in the studio since the band released Chronictown in 1982. Needless to say, this instrument means a great deal to Peter and to R.E.M. It is our sincere hope that whoever is responsible for the loss, or whoever has information which can help recover the guitar, will come forward to receive a generous reward, no questions asked.”
