About Me



I'm just a total guitar enthusiast! I play guitar, a little bit of bass (badly) and I also have a soft spot for the ukulele.I have been responsible for compiling GUITARZ - the World's first English language blog specifically about guitars - since August 2002. (The first guitar blog in ANY language was one in Portuguese.) I was surprised that no-one else had already started one, and started mine because I wanted to keep track of my own guitar-related surfing on the web, as I had found many cool guitar websites and news stories.
Check out the blog at: guitarz.blogspot.com

My Interests

Guitars and guitarists, basses and bassists, guitar news and products, weird guitars, bizarre guitars, wonderful guitars...

I'd like to meet:

Others interested in guitars! Luthiers, guitar builders, guitarists, bassists, uke players, people with innovative and/or wacky guitars! C'mon, I know you're out there!
Please feel free post your guitar photos below in the comments section, but PLEASE DO NOT post enormous pictures that bugger up the page width! Sorry, but if your pic or banner is too big, I'll have to delete your comment. Nothing personal, you understand?

I'm not a luthier...

Just to clear this up... Someone commented just now that I was a most excellent luthier.  I'm not.  I can't take the credit for anyone else's work.  The only true custom-built guitar th...
