It is always important to protect your investments and there have been several ways in doing so. Unfortunately to most of us, we cannot afford the technology of GPS to track our property. Luckily, there is an affordable alternative to GPS that somewhat works with tracking and doesn't require power.
RFID microchips have been implemented for various usages ranging from tracking to identification. One recently useful purpose for RFID is to tag musical instruments, and SNAGG has reached a market for those who are looking for an alternative to GPS. SNAGG (www.snagg.com) offers a one RFID microchip kit to install in your guitar or any musical instrument in a discreet location, unknown to thieves. Below is a promo video from SNAGG on how the entire system works!
It is a very simple installation kit that requires a drill and some patience. Once installed, you will go about registering it online through the SNAGG database and that's all to it! Your RFID is now recorded and labeled for users with the scanner to read your information on the tag.
Looks like this will be installed on a different location indicated on the SNAGG instructions that only the dealer, scanner recipient and I would now its location. It's cheap and easy and it's perfect to have compliment my guitar's safety (and it doesn't interfere with tone!). Check out their site and see if it's what you're looking for in protecting your beautiful axe!
