My dear cousin's husband is playing the guitar in the streets of Adelaide every week and a while ago his guitar got lost/stolen after some people harassed Makoto GuitarSamurai. All efforts to find it again were not successful so far so they started saving up to get a new one. If you have a spare dollar or some cents, everything is helpful <3.
Thank you!
Quote from my cousin Katarzyna:
"Dear people of Australia and beyond,
Everyone knows Makoto GuitarSamurai right?
That ninja/samurai busker who madly shreds/shredded every drunken weekend night at :
HINDLEY STREET - Adelaide
GEORGE STREET - Sydney
SWANSTON STREET - Melbourne
NORTH BRIDGE - Perth
Unfortunately folks, his iconic GUITAR 'IBANEZ S770FM' WAS STOLEN!
On 26 FEBRUARY 2017, Approx 4:30 am in Adelaide, while packing his stuff, he left it behind... As soon as he realised this and came back, it was already gone.
He is DEVASTATED. It means A LOT to him.
It was his trusty axe he held and busked with for the last 6 years, and traveled around the world (Japan, Europe and around Australia and New Zealand). He is also busking to help support our family (wife and baby daughter) while I am are studying and training here. (I'm learning childcare)
During last two months, we have searched local pawn shops and checked Gumtree and Ebay listings everyday. As the S770FM (Antique Burst Flat) is a very specific model he brought from Japan, it would be easy to identify it. Unfortunately we couldn't find anything...
We are kindly asking you to help us replace his missing guitar with another Ibanez S series. It will help him lift his spirits up and continue to do what he does best - bring music to to the lives of others.
Thank you,
Katarzyna Ono (Makoto's wife)"
