ATHENS (AFP) — Heavy metal group Iron Maiden are looking for a one-off guitar allegedly stolen during a weekend concert in Greece, the group said on their website.

In a message posted on Monday, Iron Maiden noted that the Jackson guitar belonging to guitarist Adrian Smith was missing after Saturday's show and offered a reward of a Maiden tour jacket for its return.

"Can all Maiden fans please be on the lookout for the guitar," the group said. "It will be extremely hard to get rid of as it's the only one in the world."

"There will be a reward of a Maiden tour jacket and I'm sure a hand written letter of thanks from Adrian for anyone with information leading to the recovery of the guitar," the message said.
