Sadly, the list of “high-end” guitars he bought using the embezzled funds has not been made public, but with that kind of cash, you could afford pretty much anything. Could they have been a couple of ’Bursts, à la Joe Bonamassa? Or did he perhaps manage to nab a few of the artist guitars that were recently up for auction? Alas, we can only speculate.

The Judge did indicate that he didn’t believe Lum was likely to commit another crime, but stated that the sentence must deter other individuals (presumably, guitarists) from committing similar offences.
