An expensive guitar stolen two month's ago from a Whanganui music store has been recovered after it came back into the shop for repairs.
"I couldn't believe it," an astonished Craig Cawley of the Gatshack said yesterday.
"I was out the back making a coffee when a guy came in on Saturday wanting a new string.
"I recognised the guitar and was able to match the serial number with the box we still have here."
The white Squire electric jazzmaster guitar, worth almost $2000, was stolen in a brazen grab and run in May.
