Official Press Release

Official Guitar Buyers Guide is now getting new traffic everyday. An official press release was put out a couple days ago giving a full explanation of the site.

The press release:

Finally a site devoted to providing unbiased and professional guitar reviews in the form of videos, comparisons, rankings, and guitar structure. A guitar is not just a piece of wood with strings and every guitar has a story to tell. My job is only to provide a proper translation.

Professional Guitar Reviews

Guitar reviews have been a huge part of purchasing a guitar over many factors. Someone looking to buy a specific type of guitar (i.e. Fender strat) may be turned in a completely different direction from a good solid review (i.e. Gibson Les Paul).

Guitar reviews have come in many different forms whether written, video, comparison, or just giving it a rating compared to the other couple guitars you currently own. A guitar review no matter who wrote it has always been lacking in some factor. The most popular mistake that comes from guitar reviews is the factor that the review came from someone who is not qualified to give it a proper review as the only other guitars that person has played are maybe a dozen or maybe max a couple dozen. A guitar review should be a rating done against more than just a closet of guitars and should be compared to all possibilities. It is also this factor that has caused many home grown luthiers and guitar makers to be unable to get their product in the market place as not enough reviews are available and/or none are available for the specific guitar.

Private guitar makers have been the backbone for guitar improvements and creativity since the beginning. Many may not believe it but PRS, Gibson, Fender, Schecter and many other brands have not been around forever. Although we can give thanks to fender and Gibson for giving us many of the first solid body guitars they were not alone. Paul smith was a private guitar maker who made his break by trying hard and getting as many people to play his guitar as he could from a very young age. He managed to flourish unlike many of our most talented guitar makers out there.

Official Guitar Buyers Guide is meant to give you reviews with all factors taken into affect. We look at quality of build and materials, comparisons of guitars with similar products and wood choices. A guitar will be compared to others from not just main brands but from private luthiers from around the world. I personally have talked to many guitar makers to get their feelings on the power that many manufacturers have in the guitar community and what they are doing about it.


Roman Rist says " Factories build guitars for profit, Luthiers build them for players"

Roman Rist is a great private luthier who has made his impact as a guitar maker in California but gets orders from all over the U.S. and Canada. He has taken many parts and continually makes them better. My problem is no one knows about his work unless you avidly seek out a guitar maker in his area.

What do I know though, I do not own hundreds of guitars and I am not a professional guitar maker. But I am not the one making the judgments, all of my guitar reviews give you the facts and also give you the opportunity to make the judgment on your own. I will provide a detailed approach of the make of the guitar and will make a video review comparing it to guitars of similar quality or material. It is my hope that this site will become a hub for all those looking to buy a guitar to go to find out the truth on the guitar that their buddy down the street says is the best in the world.
