Thieves Steal Several Guitars from Home of Rob Zombie Guitarist John 5
John 5, best known as Rob Zombie's guitarist, took to Twitter this morning to announce that he has been robbed. Of course, several expensive guitars (and a banjo) were stolen.
"Unfortunately our house was robbed today," John 5 wrote. "We accidentally didn't put the alarm on, so some assholes got lucky! We will post more pictures of more guitars, these are all the pictures we have now. I just want to put it out there, just in case anyone comes across these items. Whoever did this will get caught hopefully one day!"
John later added a note about other stolen items: "A whole lots of my Rob Zombie awards and such, and my laptop — more info on Facebook."
Anyone with info about the stolen items should reach out to John 5 via his Facebook page (See link above) or Twitter account.
Here's the photo he posted this morning:

“I only used the back pickup. Ozzy hates the sound of the front pickup. He calls it the ‘cow tone’”: Bursting with ideas but deferential to Ozzy Osbourne, a young Zakk Wylde had interesting guitar instructions upon joining the legendary frontman's band
“It was very simplistic compared to my later compositions”: It may have been inspired by the Kinks, but Al Di Meola's Race with Devil on Spanish Highway is one of the great virtuoso displays in guitar history. Watch the maestro play it with Steve Vai
