It was stolen from him at a gig he played one night. He was truly devistated. The guitar was solid black number BC00305 was the serial number. We have been searching for it for years and years. It was bought here in Amarillo, Tx at Fosters House of Strings. It was stolen here in Amarillo, Tx at a club named The Other Place.

We do have a G&L Registry here on this site.
The Broadcaster is listed in our Rarebird section of this Registry.
I checked to see if your father's Broadcaster was registered, but did not find an entry. You might add it to this
Registry and include a note in the Other Features field mentioning the it had been stolen and a contact number or
email address.

Let us know if you should locate it and best of luck on your search.
