I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
alas my Terada Acoustic Guitar was stolen on Saturday morning early! Happened on the SA/VIC border just south of Bordertown so could go in any direction.
Please, please keep an eye out and spread the word as it is extremely rare, very identifiable by it's headstock & preamp, and likely to turn up anywhere. I've had it all it's 28years - a Martin look alike with "Terada" down the headstock, in a Maton (big imprint) case with a Dya Singh sticker among a few and black guitar strap with red patch & gold chinese character on it. Tragic but it's happened, all the festival was in shock. I'm still in shock.
An AGA Phase 2 Preamp/ pickup system was installed, visible in on the top left of the pic below. Chunky fingerboard inlays
If you are going to a festival and can put up a few notices would be really appreciated. This is the guitar I won all my Bluegrass Guitar Championships with in the 80's, older than my children, bought by my family for me at the end of high school. Irreplaceable. I'm sure it will turn up, hope you can help, yours ever musically, Andrew Clermont Ph 0407753809

Let us just start by apologising for this "automatic comment" thing. We know it's annoying when bands you've never heard of spam your myspace.
However, this isn't meant to be spam. This is just a humble invite for you to come to our myspace, have a listen to the music and leave us some feedback? We'd really appreciate it, and we'll always reply to you.
Hope to hear from you soon (if we haven't already)
