About WikiGuitar

WikiGuitar is a running list of guitars sold at the store: acoustic and acoustic-electric models, nylon-string classical guitars, electric guitars and basses, small travel instruments and the beginner kits that arrive with a bag and a tuner. Each entry carries what its seller wrote in the listing and a price stamped with the minute we read it.

Where the details come from

The kind of guitar, the number of strings, the size, whether it is cut for the left hand and whether an amp or a pickup is part of the deal are copied from the seller's own title. If a title says nothing about one of them, the cell stays empty here, and we do not borrow it from a sister model, a famous name or a photograph. Tonewoods, scale lengths and pickup output are the maker's statements and we leave them in the listing.

Nobody here has played them

We have not strummed, tuned or carried any guitar on this site. That is why there is no verdict on tone, no claim about playability or action and no pick for the best sound. A guitar is a personal thing: how it feels under your hand, how it sits against your body and how it sounds in your room are for the listing, owners' reviews and a try in a shop.

A price comes with its time

Each dollar figure shown beside a guitar was taken from the store listing at one moment, and that moment is printed next to it. A figure that has aged too long is withdrawn instead of left standing as if it were current, because an old number looks like fact and a gap does not. Today's price is the one on the store's page.

Guides and Learn

The guides line guitars up on stated facts and price alone. The Learn pages explain words such as dreadnought, nylon string, humbucker and short scale with the help of makers' and public-body pages, and the front page says how many guitars we list.
