Your Stories, Our Inspiration: Discover Fellow Musicians Spotlights

I had just graduated college, moved back to NYC, began cutting my teeth on the club scene and finding some pit work. Then a friend told me about a corporate band audition looking for players to mold into a G.B. band. G.B. stands for General Business and, in some circles, is also referred to as a Club Date band. I auditioned, and, even though I was still quite green, I landed the gig. The gig required me to learn hundreds of tunes and play everything from the 50s to the 90s. The MD (music director) demanded authentic sounds. So, I began assembling my rig. Up till this point, I was using a Mesa-Boogie Mark III and a handful of pedals. Good enough for rock and blues, but not for all styles of contemporary pop music…

Reviews

We’ll provide you with in-depth product reviews. These reviews will cover all the technical aspects of a guitar, as well as how they look, their price point, and any extra features they may have. We’ll go into all the details so you can decide if it’s right for you.

Our Aims and Values

Our aim at Guitar Space is to give budding musicians the information they need to make wise purchases. There is an overwhelming amount of choice out there when it comes to buying guitars, especially if you’re unfamiliar with some of the technical terms.

That’s where our reviewers come in – we review everything from the latest Fender bass guitar, right down to the best strap for your acoustic. It doesn’t matter what your budget is, either – we cover entry-level guitars right up to the most expensive, up-to-date models.

Be honest

We want to give you totally honest reviews. This means we’ll tell you exactly what we like about a particular guitar – but we’ll also tell you what we don’t like and point you in the direction of an alternative if we think there’s a better model out there for you. We cover both the pros and cons in detail.

Keep It Simple

You shouldn’t have to be an expert to understand guitar reviews. We write our reviews in a way that is informative for more experienced guitar players but is simple to understand for complete beginners. That way, everyone can benefit from our knowledge and experience.

Our Editorial Review Policy: How We Handle Product or
Service Reviews

We take product recommendations very seriously around here. Before we recommend an alternative guitar, an amp, guitar lesson service, anything – we do extensive research. That starts with researching the history and public reviews of each product or service, including accessing the right scientific studies, consulting experts in the space (guitar teachers, professional musicians, and music industry experts) and reading real people reviews and use cases of each product.

As much as possible, our writers and editorial team use and test each instrument, accessory, or service in their real lives. We not only evaluate and discuss the benefits of each product, but we can then talk about the durability, sound, tone, performance, and personal nuance, things you might not find in other reviews, but that really matters to our audience

Every article goes through an extensive editorial process as well to ensure high-quality, relevant content for our audience. We make sure that each article has a clear purpose, gives a clear and tested recommendation, or call to action, and is helpful for our audience. We make sure to cite outside sources and document where we got our research from.

Every article is unique, authentic, original content that is not published anywhere else. If we quote or source someone else, we cite it. We also only cite reputable, trusted sources.

If we are making a recommendation of any kind, it’s because we like, use, and have tested the product or service out and would recommend it to our friends and family (and often do!)

We update key articles continuously so we are always recommending the latest products and keeping abreast of the latest health breakthroughs and research available. We also take product recalls very seriously and strive to make sure we are recommending products that are proven, effective and safe.
