HOW QRGUITAR WORKS

One Profile that stays with the instrument.

Create it once. Keep the photos, specifications, service, documents, and ownership history current as the instrument changes.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps from instrument to Profile.

  1. 01

    Create or find the Profile

    Enter the Serial Number and basic details. If the instrument already has a Profile, use the transfer or claim process instead of creating another one.

  2. 02

    Add what you know

    Upload real photos, specifications, service, documents, media, and history.

  3. 03

    Use the QR

    Download or print the permanent QR for the instrument, case, tag, shop display, or paperwork.

  4. 04

    Keep ownership current

    When the instrument changes hands, transfer the same Profile. Scanning the QR alone never changes ownership.

PROFILE CONTENT

IDENTITY & PRIVACY

QRguitar ID and Serial Number

The QRguitar ID stays with the Profile. The owner can choose whether the separate Serial Number field appears publicly.

UnlistedNot listed in the Catalog, but available to anyone with the direct link or QR.
PrivateAvailable only to the signed-in owner and authorized QRguitar admins.
OWNERSHIP

A QR scan never transfers ownership.

The current owner, shop, or brand sends a secure handoff. Older ownership questions use a reviewed claim with supporting evidence.

Open Claim Center

Owner transfer

The current owner sends the existing Profile to the next owner.

Store or brand handoff

A shop or builder can prepare the Profile for the buyer.

Ownership claim

When no transfer is available, the claimant can submit acquisition details and private supporting evidence for review.

Common questions

Does the QRguitar ID change?

No. Editing details, adding history, or changing owners does not replace the QRguitar ID or Profile URL.

Can I hide the Serial Number?

Yes. The owner can hide the separate public Serial Number field without changing the QRguitar ID or printed QR.

What if the instrument already has a Profile?

Do not create a duplicate. Use the transfer flow or submit an ownership claim.

Can someone claim an instrument by scanning the QR?

No. A scan is view-only. Ownership requires a secure transfer or reviewed claim.

Can a Profile be private?

Yes. Choose Public, Unlisted, or Private.

What happens when I sell the instrument?

Transfer the existing Profile to the buyer so the QRguitar ID and history stay with the instrument.
