William Clark Green's Guitar Stolen


William Clark Green took to socials to find his Martin Jumbo Cutaway Guitar that was stolen 15 years ago in Tyler, TX.


Green posted this today on socials:

$3000 REWARD

Stolen Guitar. It’s a Martin Jumbo Cutaway JC16.


This guitar was stolen from me 15 years ago in Tyler Texas.


This is the first and only guitar my dad ever bought me. I always chalked it up as a loss, but about 6 months ago my dad died so now I really want it back. Im throwing it out into the universe hoping to get lucky.


The guitar has a dime sized battle scar between the bridge and the input jack. I don’t have the serial number but I know exactly what it looks like. It should be around a 1999-2002 model.

$3000 dollars on top of what you paid for the guitar. Send a picture in the comments or dm me a picture.

Cheers thanks for helping and thank you @whiskeyriff for the idea to post it and see what happens


Back in 2020, Green's truck was stolen in Fort Worth and with the help of his friend Parker McCollum and fans, the truck was recovered within a few days. Let's get the guitar back!
