How to Identify a Guitar
Three quick steps to an instant, AI-powered identification.
Photograph the full body and a close-up of the headstock, where the brand logo and model clues live.
Our AI analyzes the body shape, headstock, pickups, and hardware, comparing them against a broad database of guitar makes and models.
Receive the likely brand, model family, and body style with the defining features so you can confirm the match.
Other Ways to Identify a Guitar
Read the Headstock Logo
The brand logo and any model name on the headstock are the fastest manual clue when legible.
Serial Number Lookup
Serial numbers on the headstock or neck plate often date the guitar and confirm the factory and model.
Guitar Forums
Communities can identify obscure, vintage, or 'lawsuit-era' guitars from clear body and headstock photos.

Best Practices
