The Strokes raise reward for Nick Valensi’s missing guitar

Know the whereabouts of Nick Valensi‘s missing Epiphone guitar? If so it could now net you a reward of $5,000.

The Strokes first took to Twitter at the start of this month asking for help after Valensi’s ‘beloved’ instrument vanished while in transit from New York City to Los Angeles, and they’ve now upped the reward after a few weeks of fruitless rummaging through dustbins.

“In a bit of unfortunate news, we’ve recently learned that Nick’s beloved Epiphone guitar has gone missing while being shipped from NYC to LA,” the original message reads.

“A description of the guitar and its case is below and we ask that you join us in keeping an eye out for it. It goes without saying how bummed he is that it’s gone missing.”

“If you have any info at all about the guitar – perhaps see it in a pawn shop or on eBay – please send an email.”
