This just came in from the Camper Van Beethoven folks. Most of these instruments have been played by these folks for years, and I'm sure they're quite attached to them.
If you know anything, contact the foks through the CVB website, or the Montreal police.
David's green Surfcaster has a black humbucker in the bridge.
Ezster's SG has a single P94 in the bridge.
Jonathan's violin has a lot of stickers on it, some were in German, had DDR printed on them, etc.
Jonathan's strat was a three-color burst, with only a very thin line of red.
Greg's bound sunburst tele had a bookmatched top/body, and no logo on the headstock.
Another distinctive instrument they had, but not listed was a vintage Kay/Harmony/other off-US brand electric tenor banjo.
I hope they nail these bastards.
