How it works

A passport for every guitar

Four steps from registration to a safer second-hand market.

Register

Add your guitar’s brand, model, serial number and photos. It is recorded against your account — personal or your shop’s.

  • Serial checked for duplicates
  • Photos stored securely
  • Works for shops with staff accounts

Registering takes about five minutes.

Features

Built for owners, buyers and shops

Everything needed to prove ownership and make stolen or lost guitars harder to sell.

Public

Missing instrument registry

Stolen, lost and left-behind instruments are searchable by serial, reason, location and brand, so buyers, shops and pawnbrokers can spot one before it changes hands.

Permanent

Chain of custody

Every registration, transfer and recovery is written to a history that cannot be edited or deleted — the guitar’s story travels with it.

Private

Your details stay yours

Public pages never show names, phone numbers or addresses. Police reports are kept private and only visible to the people who need them.

For shops

Company accounts

Music shops register stock under one company account, give staff their own logins, and approve outgoing transfers.
