semi//entirely-unbelievable update, but ALL of my recently stolen gear (minus the [un]lucky green hat) have been returned ! between all of you spreading the word and my younger brother (tysm//lysm jack) emailing literally every pawn shop in town, the story reached @mrstevespawnshop . not even 10 minutes after learning about my stolen gear, someone walked into their shop with everything. We received a call from Steve shortly after, confirming they had retrieved all of the stolen gear, and helped us work with our detective and the LAPD to return it safely. Other than a busted preamp tube and a loose tube socket, all of the gear is in the exact condition I left it in - even the guitars were still in their weird tunings from the night before’s @jacobjeffries show. Endlessly grateful to Steve, Sean, and the entire team at @mrstevespawnshop . They were so kind, handled everything with care, and refused to take anything in return. Eternally indebted. <3 also, truly grateful to all of you for sharing and spreading the word. the outpouring of support was overwhelming in the best way. Thank you thank you THANK YOU. Gonna carve my name into these guitars and never let them out of my sight again. Also if anyone in LA sees a really sick green hat rollin around out there - lmk//tysm.

“I was a Tele guy forever,” he says. “I still am, I think, spiritually, a Tele guy. But that Les Paul to me is kind of just a big Tele, especially with those P-90s.” @masonstoops (& pup!) with his 1952 Les Paul - read all about this guitar and explore the other treasures in Mason’s collection in issue four of @elevenguitarmag - out now!

Something fun for #teletuesday 💛 In a studio of wall-to-wall neon artwork, entirely carpeted in AstroTurf (prickly!), @elevenguitarmag met with with LA session star and producer @masonstoops to chat about his life, work and custodianship of a treasure trove of vintage instruments. This heavily modified Telecaster was one of my favourites to shoot as it has so much colour & personality. Read all about it in the super vibrant and eclectic feature in issue four - out now, link in profile! #masonstoops #guitarnerd #guitarphotography #telecaster
