A rare 1987 Takemine N10 acoustic guitar vanished under strange circumstances in Durham, North Carolina, after being packed for shipment during the fall of 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The guitar, housed in a Dreadnought style hardshell case, was being sent via FedEx from a college dormitory, with a legitimate tracking number issued for the shipment. However, the package never arrived at a FedEx shipping point, and the guitar has not been seen since.
The instrument features a natural wood finish and carries a unique serial number, 87031033, which can be used to positively identify it if it resurfaces at a pawn shop, resale site, or private sale.
