The victim of an arson fire received an unexpected package Wednesday, complements of country music star Vince Gill.

Following an arson fire on June 29, victim John Miklosh told KIRO 7 reporter Chris Egert that he'd lost his cherished Vince Gill autographed guitar when his apartment and all of his possessions were destroyed.

Egert called Nashville, and Vince Gill's people came through with a new Taylor guitar signed by both Gill and his wife, singer Amy Grant.

Miklosh was amazed when he received the new instrument from Egert.

"I was so down when all this happened and I lost everything I had. Look at my place now, I'm back, good or better than I was, and it is because everybody cared," said Miklosh.

After the fire, Miklosh and several families were forced to move.

Three people were killed.

King County investigators later ruled the fire to be arson. No arrests have been made in the case.
