Barenaked Ladies' Kevin Hearn feels naked without his favourite guitar.

The musician is asking for the public's help in tracking down a rare guitar of his which was lost during a recent trip from Toronto to St. John's, Newfoundland, his label, Warner Music Canada, announced in a press release.

The axe is a custom-made Paul Reed Smith semi-hollow body guitar, outfitted with a distinctive Bigsby tremelo arm.

The guitar, which has been missing for two weeks, carries the serial number 049256. It was stored in a black, rectangular flight case, stensilled with the number "57."

Anyone with information about Hearn's guitar is asked to contact Dean Roney at (204) 291-5051.
