In May, New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that it had acquired a collection of 500 guitars, and it appears that one of the most high-profile donations may have been stolen decades ago.
The collection included a 1959 sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard played by the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards during their historic Ed Sullivan Show appearance in 1964, a guitar that was amongst those stolen during the recording of the Stones' classic 1972 album Exile... On Main Street eight years later.
