STOLEN GUITAR ALERT: Kevan Geier’s Ibanez Universe
Got some sucky news today about the theft of a guitar belonging to someone who has contributed a huge amount to the guitar community in general and Ibanez geeks like me in particular.
“STOLEN GUITAR ALERT!!!! Kevan Geier’s (inventor of the Tremol-no) Ibanez Universe UV777PBK was stolen last night in California. The guitar is IMMEDIATELY recognizable due to the pearloid pickguard, Steve Vai signature on the back of the headstock, Tremol-No installed, and countersunk strap buttons. If you see this guitar online anywhere…, please contact Kevan immediately: kevan@jemfest.com. Thanks.”
Thanks to Johan for the heads-up (you can read Johan’s guest post about attending a Jeff Loomis clinic here, by the way, and follow him on Twitter here).

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), guitarworld.com, Tone Deaf, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Reverbnation or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
That's really sucky. Kevan is a real stand up guy.
I have dealt with him twice (one right now) regarding Tremol-nos, and his customer service and professionalism is fantastic. He really stands by his product.
I hope he finds his guitar soon.
