The clean way to track your guitar collection
A vintage Les Paul, a workhorse Tele, and a closet of modern players are one collection with very different stakes. Frame keeps every instrument on record — make, model, year, finish, serial, and condition — paid against current market, with the case-candy, receipts, and appraisals attached. Know what each piece is worth, and have the documentation ready when it's time to insure or sell.
Built for how guitars are actually tracked.
Vintage guitars are valued on year, originality, and serial-verified provenance. Year and Finish drive desirability (a '59 burst is a different universe from a '69), the serial number ties the instrument to its production date and to you, and Condition reflects originality — refins and replaced parts move value hard. Paid vs. Est. value keeps appreciation visible, which on vintage instruments can be the whole point.

Common questions.
How does Frame handle originality vs. modifications?+
Use the Condition field for the overall grade and a tag or note for originality details ('all original', 'refin', 'replaced tuners', 'non-original PAFs'). On vintage instruments, originality can swing value more than cosmetic condition, so it's worth recording explicitly.
Why track the serial number?+
The serial dates the instrument and ties it to you. It verifies a vintage guitar's production year for buyers and appraisers, and it's what lets you file a police report or insurance claim if an instrument is stolen. Serials stay private and are hidden from shared links by default.
Does Frame pull values from Reverb or Vintage Guitar?+
Not automatically. You enter values manually from Reverb sold listings, the Vintage Guitar Price Guide, or dealer comps — which keeps you accurate for unusual finishes and originality grades. Automated comps for common models are on the roadmap.
Can I track gear beyond guitars — amps, pedals, basses?+
Yes. The same fields work for amps and basses, and you can tag records by type ('amp', 'bass', 'pedal') to filter your rig from your guitars. Many players keep their whole rig in one Frame and filter by tag.
Will my insurer accept Frame's export?+
Yes. The PDF lists every instrument, its serial, condition, and value with photos and appraisals attached — accepted by carriers and specialty music insurers as the basis for a scheduled-items rider. High-value vintage pieces should carry a recent formal appraisal on the record.
