Brendon Small's studio has been broken into, causing him to lose 12 of his guitars.

Small shared the shocking news on his Twitter account, saying that guitars were stolen from the Dethklok and Galaktikon studio. He asked everyone to keep an eye out for the instruments and inform him if they ever find one of them.

He then listed the aforesaid robbed guitars, which include: Les Paul Goldtop 57 reissue, Ibanez JS24 Orange, Ibanez Jem Universe, MOOG guitar black, Gibson Thunderhose prototype, Gibson SG tobacco burst 12 string, Gibson SG Standard black, Gibson Les Paul 59 Tobacco burst reissue, Gibson Buckethead Studio Les Paul, Kramer 1984, unfinished Warmoth strat (maple top), and Fender 54 Custom shop strat reissue.

Other musicians and his fans helped him by sharing his post online since Small is yet to recover even one of the guitars.

Gene Hoglan said, "Please keep an eye out, we need to get these back to @brendonsmall Posted @withregram • @brendonsmall My studio was broken into and my guitars were stolen. (I really liked these guitars.) if you happen to see them in LOS ANGELES please let me know."

"THEFT ALERT - BRENDON SMALL'S GUITARS STOLEN: It infuriates me to report that Dethklok genius @brendonsmall had many guitars stolen from his L.A. studio. BOLO SoCal ppl & follow Brendon for updates. Nobody hates guitar thieves more than me. Put the boots to them, maximum style," Bryan Beller wrote.

Amid the bad news, he shared an update regarding his upcoming movie during his interview with radio host Sara Parker of 93.3 WMMR.

Per Small, they were already in production of creating the "Metalocalypse" movie. Although he refused to give further details, he hinted that it would be a one-hour long rock opera special.

Not the 1st Incident

It was not the first time a case of theft happened this year.

In July, guitarist Buckethead disclosed that he had been robbed of ten of the most important guitars in his life. He shared the news on his website, asking fans to email him once they received information about the instruments.

"It's a tremendous loss. I'll never really be able to replace them but I'm looking for anybody who knows of any instruments that come close to these. Hopefully somebody can help out. I'm trying to get 2 Studio Gibson Les Pauls. Please contact service@bucketheadpikes.com. Thank you," he wrote.
