Heard a dodgy geezer offering you a guitar for cheap in the pub lately? Don’t entertain the idea. The White Stripes front man, Jack White, has had one of his guitars nicked. The guitar’s actual owner, Paul Biver, had been looking after the six string at his studio in London’s trendy Shoreditch area when a seven nation army of thieves snaffled the Fender Stratocaster, reputed to be worth$25,000 Aussie dollars.
Jack had signed the guitar, as well as playing it. Owner Biver explained “A friend of mine collects rock memorabilia and had asked me to help transform his barge but then ran out of money, so I asked if I could have the guitar as payment,” he further explained.”That was three years ago so obviously it has just increased in value since then.”I don’t normally store it in my design studio but was making a case for it so was gutted when I realised it had been taken.”
