This sounds like a good idea- especially for those who tour ............and have decent guitars
------------------------------------
What do Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Tony Iommi and BB King have in common?
(No prizes for guessing they are all guitarists)
Any idea?
Well, they all wish they’d had dbTwang.com’s Guitar Guardian when their precious guitars were stolen.
At least 97% of stolen guitars are never recovered (just ask Clapton); that’s why dbTwang.com, the social network for guitar lovers everywhere, is today launching Guitar Guardian. This latest feature of the dbTwang service allows collectors to log ultra-detailed profiles of each guitar in their collection, including upload facilities for up to 25 high-res images of each instrument.
dbTwang co-founder Fintan Blake Kelly: “our research shows only 4% of stolen guitar reports come complete with photos of the instrument and serial numbers. Obviously supplying these crucial details maximises the chances of recovery. With Guitar Guardian, dbTwang.com is offering guitar lovers the opportunity to put all these details in an online safety deposit box.”
Guitar Guardian will also trigger a global alert in the unfortunate event of a theft. By linking with our International Stolen Instrument Alliance partners based across the globe, we can potentially get millions to keep an eye out for your stolen guitar and possibly alert you to its whereabouts. Your alert will also appear to participating guitar dealers and pawn brokers as well as the ever expanding dbTwang community via our own site and our social media pages.
Once the stolen guitar alert has been activated, your detailed guitar profile will be automatically placed in a searchable database for lost and stolen guitars open to all from law enforcement agencies to anyone who may wish to check the status of a guitar they’re intending to purchase.
Your $25 (€19.50/£16) Guitar Guardian subscription will also afford you a discount on specialised guitar insurance with Anderson Insurance.
Fintan Blake Kelly says this is a must have package for anyone serious about their guitars “Over a million instruments go missing every year and most are never recovered. The Guitar Guardian is the only product of its kind for guitar collectors. Whether you’ve just one or two or maybe even a whole room full of prized guitars, this is the only place for you to really protect your instruments. Sure, there are other static databases you can spend hours trawling for your lost guitar, but
www.dbtwang.com is the only place where you can actively get the word out and potentially get your precious baby back!”
