Will this idea catch on? http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Accessories/Security/SNAGG_Microchip.html It seems like a good idea, but I just don't see it happening. | ||

Well... You still have to find the instrument before you can scan it... | ||

... the point being that when the police find stolen goods, and they are bugged with the chips, it should be easier for the legitimate owner to claim his belongings. | ||

It sounds like it might be worth while. It doesn't cost all that much and might allow for reduced insurance costs. Keith | ||

Carvin offers it as a factory option. I think I started a thread here a couple of years ago about adding it to Alembic's options list. If I remember, it didn't go over too well for reason(s) that escape me at the moment. (Message edited by kmh364 on July 13, 2006) | ||

Gibson has been doing it with the reissue Les Paul for years now. | ||

As expensive as some vintage pieces have gone, it's a wonder they don't include a LoJac built into the case! J o e y | ||

Wish Gibson had installed it on my '73 Les Paul - stolen from my apartment in Victoria, B.C. But then, if I'd recovered the '73, I wouldn't have bought the black Les Paul Standard at Valley Arts in Los Angeles in '79, and wouldn't have gotten the great deal that I got for buying the Stingray bass at the same time as the black Standard, and, well... things just wouldn't have been the same.
