Why Are We Here?
Guitar Business World , a publication of TrueMarket Group and created by Jeffrey D Brown, is the latest iteration of the Guitar Business brand that encompasses a number of different platforms devoted to the interest of guitar-related companies, artists and enthusiasts.
It's a different approach. We're calling it a hybrid business publication because it takes the business perspective and applies it to an audience that includes not just business owners and operators, but literally everyone who works in the industry including artists, as well as enthusiasts who are just interested.
Guitar Business World has been evolving since its launch in May, 2024. We continue to developed new features and content you won’t find anywhere else. And that’s what makes this project so exciting.
You may already be familiar with some of our other platforms including GUITARpr, the Guitar Business Store, Guitar Business Radio, and a few others. And while we’ve been focused on this work solidly for the last 16 years, there’s a lifetime of involvement in the guitar universe that goes back over 40 years. So there’s a lot to talk about. And a lot to look forward to.
