Protection Guide
The time to document a stolen guitar case is before anything goes missing
After a theft, the first questions are usually basic ones: serial number, identifying marks, recent photos, and proof that the guitar was yours. Most people discover too late that the evidence is incomplete or scattered.
Serial-number photos and distinguishing wear matter most when recovery depends on fast identification.
What to record now
- Serial number and manufacturer labels.
- Distinctive chips, wear, stickers, repairs, or changed parts.
- Clear front, back, headstock, and case photographs.
- Where and when you acquired the instrument.
Why a timestamped packet helps
A packet does not stop theft, but it gives you a cleaner baseline record when you need to speak to police, insurers, marketplaces, or future buyers who are checking recovered inventory.
Marketplace monitoring
Better data for comparing a suspicious listing against your documented instrument.
Insurance claims
Cleaner evidence of ownership and condition before the loss was discovered.
