Your stolen guitar may already be listed for sale.

Stolen guitars resurface on eBay, Reverb, Facebook Marketplace, and local classifieds — sometimes within days, sometimes decades later (a 1954 Strat stolen in the '80s was spotted on Reverb in 2021). PharosEyes checks them automatically, every day, and emails you the moment a likely match appears.

The serial number (headstock or neck plate) is the gold standard — it survives any description the seller writes. Custom inlays, wear patterns, modified pickups, and case stickers all sharpen the match.

eBay and 90+ marketplaces across 60+ countries, plus the indexed web and your regions' local classifieds — every day, in the local language. Instrument watches automatically include Reverb, the world's largest gear marketplace.

You get an email with the listing and exactly why we flagged it. Confirmed sightings build a police-ready evidence report. We never contact the seller — recovery goes safely through law enforcement. Not every stolen guitar is relisted online — but when it is, early detection can make all the difference.
