Gimme' Back My Guitar!

After a magazine came in and took pictures of his guitar collection now Gary Moore is the subject of a controversy. His classic guitar collection was shown in Britain's Guitar Buyer magazine. It seems that one of the guitars shown may have been stolen from Ronnie Montrose way back in 1972.

According to a MusicRadar article, Montrose bought the Gibson Les Paul from J.Geils in 1972 when he was playing with the Edgar Winter Group. It disapeared during a tour stop on October 20, 1972 and he's been trying to get it back ever since.

Since seeing the article, Montrose has tried to contact Moore but has not gotten a response, so he is resorting to a law suit.
