Police: 'Creed' Guitars Worth $150,000 Stolen
Tuesday, May 18, 2004

Four guitars worth more than $150,000 were stolen from the Miami Beach home of one of the members of the rock band Creed, police say.

Miami Beach police are asking for the public's help in the search for the missing instruments, which were reportedly taken May 11 from the trunk of a car that was parked in the driveway of the Miami Beach home.

Police say two of the instruments were custom made and have a combined retail value of $150,000. Police have released a description of the two guitars. One is black with the word "prototype" and the numeral "4" written across the back part of the neck. The other guitar is gold with the words "custom built for Scott Stapp" written on the neck.

I'll bet they're being burned in some sort of Satanic sacrifice. Sorry, some sort of Satanic "My Sacrifice".

How can two guitars, albeit 'custom' made ones have a combined retail value of $150, 000? I have bought a few guitars in my day, and I have seen the fancy ones that I couldn't afford as well... but they don't even come near being this expensive. And I can't imagine why people would pay for them if they did cost so much. Is everyone in the professional music world so extravagant?

It makes me wonder... although not for long because a new thought has just drowned it out -

What kind of a world do we live in when guys like Creed (!!!!!) get enough money to live so extravagantly?

[jyd]

yeah creed sucks

[somecanadianguy]

Creed sucks so all I gotta say is in my best Nelson Muntz impression.... HA HA

Maybe the police thought the fact that they were Creed's guitars made them worth more.

but they'd be wrong.

Is it too late to recommend a nomination for a Congressional Medal of Honor?

a guitar made of pure gold with diamond strings and opal knobs would not fetch such a price even if Hendrix himself had ejaculated all over it!

150k that's Bullshit.

not for a guitar that's been touched by members of creed. If that's the worth of a creed guitar than guitars owned by Killing Joke should be worth billions.

fuck the mainstream and it's over valuing of disposable wind-up Pespsi-bot "musicians"...

that's a fucking insult to anyone who ever picked up a guitar with even an ounce of passion.

Agreed. It would be like the Queen of England whining because someone stole here solid gold helicopter with diamond propellers. Cry me a fucking river.

or the wealthy owner of a petrol refinery complaining because someone was smoking at the table next to him at lunch.

That was brilliant.

Good, I'm glad I'm not alone on this.

[barend]

I just hope these heros among men who have bough us at least a couple hours of not hearing any new creed, have not sold these weapons of mass distruction, but torched them!!!

[Just your average movie goer]

And maybe it is not too late to award these men that medal of honour as Chefelf suggested.
