MusicNomad launches GuitarTracker, a virtual roadie for keeping track and maintaining your gear.

December 6, 2013 Sonoma, CA MusicNomad Equipment Care www.MusicNomadCare.com introduces GuitarTracker www.TheGuitarTracker.com, the first web based app to keep track and maintain your gear.  This free web app was developed for MusicNomad customers to use, but is available to all musicians. The user creates an inventory of their gear ranging from guitars, amps, pedals and more.  For each item the user may upload photos, year-make-model, serial number, purchase price, string info, and more.  Logging serial number and photos is critical in the case of theft.  The database primarily focuses on guitars, but one may upload information on any equipment via your computer, tablet or phone. 

GuitarTracker links to manufacturers’ websites, giving musicians the most up to date information about the care and maintenance of their gear, warranty, online forums, and replacement parts. Load in your preferred guitar repair shop info and email/share info for each guitar. GuitarTracker has pre-loaded maintenance tasks that suggest future dates to keep one’s equipment at its peak performance based on the user’s playing habits. Tasks such as set ups, clean/polish and humidify start/end dates are all built in. User’s notes and additional tasks may be added to further customize GuitarTracker for the individual.  When a task is due, an email alert is sent as a reminder.  This is a great app for repair shops too! 

Rand Rognlien explains the idea behind of GuitarTracker, “we developed this web app for our MusicNomad Equipment Care customers but it’s free and accessible to everyone.  The information stored on this site is private.  We don’t share it with third parties.  Our goal is to educate gear owners about the importance of proper maintenance, which is something we’re passionate about and if you try our instrument care products that’s great too. ”
