ABOUT GUITAR PLACE
Guitar Place was started waaaay back in 1996 as a “mom and pop” website to help smaller sheet music publishers get the word out about their artist’s songbooks.
Over 25 years later, we are still around, although we have branched out beyond just selling songbooks and sheet music.
We are now a team of seasoned guitarists and gear enthusiasts who love to collaborate and create valuable comprehensive content for guitar players at every level.
