BBC News reports that the axe was stolen during the night of January 23 from lawful owner Paul Biver's art studio in London's Hoxton neighborhood. Police believe that more than one person was involved in the burglary and is asking for the public's help in cracking the case and retrieving the piece of rock memorabilia.
"I am appealing to members of the public to come forward if anybody has tried to sell them this rare, autographed Jack White guitar," Detective Constable Suzanne Raftery told the BBC. And indeed, you should definitely do that -- after shredding a quick 'Seven Nation Army,' of course.

It's cool if you're a fan. People have different tastes in music and I understand that. I should give you the benefit of the doubt and check out that song you mentioned. As it is, I've seen The White Stripes and was totally and completely underwhelmed.

You hit the nail on the head my friend. I was annoyed at all of the other uneducated guesses these people were posting. Then I got to your comment and I wanted to reach through this monitor and high five you. It Might Get Loud, one of the best Doc's I've seen.

Strats sound nice, but they're heavy and out of balance. Believe me, an hour into a show, you'd pay someone twenty four grand to take it away.

Probably a very valuable guitar if it belonged to Jack White. He has a psych problem that prevents him using anything made after, I think, 1962. So, have you priced a pre 62 strat lately? .....

If it's a pre-1962 Strat his signature on it would drop the value, so it must have been worth $30,000 before he signed it.

Yea, what exactly makes a Strat worth 24K, and how is the "unique" guitar any different than the other bazzillion Strats?

Who? A Fender strat is only worth about $1100; if it is made in America. Most of them are made in China or Mexico and are worth about $350.
