Field notes
The described registration flow collects a guitar’s brand, model, serial number, and photos, with shop accounts able to manage stock and approve outgoing transfers. The public missing-instrument registry is described as searchable by serial, reason, state, and brand. An example passport traces registration in 2021 through transfers in 2023 and 2026; the site says the ownership history cannot be edited or deleted.
