Affiliate disclosure

In line with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), here is the material connection you should know about: guitargearreviews.com takes part in the affiliate program of a large European music retailer that ships to the United States. When you click a product link on this site and place an order, the retailer pays this site a small commission.

What this means for you

• Your price is exactly the same as if you had gone to the retailer directly. The commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your wallet.
• Commissions have no effect on scores, verdicts or which gear gets tested. Gear is chosen because players ask about it, not because of what it pays.
• Manufacturers and retailers do not see reviews before publication and do not pay for placement. There are no sponsored reviews on this site.
• Loaner gear is returned after testing. Gear that is bought is bought with the site's own money.

How affiliate links are marked

Every buy button and product link that earns a commission carries a short notice next to it, and links to the retailer are tagged as sponsored so search engines treat them correctly. If a link is an affiliate link, you will know before you click.

Prices and availability

Prices shown on this site are the prices at the time of testing or of the last update, in US dollars. Prices and stock change all the time; the retailer's page always shows the current price, shipping cost and delivery time before you order. Import duties, when they apply, are collected on delivery and are not included in the price shown here.

Limitation of liability

Reviews are written with care but they are one player's opinion. Check that a piece of gear suits your own needs before buying. This site is not responsible for the content of third-party websites.
