About Us
“When I talk to pro players, we often discuss “finding the slot,” both stylistically and sonically. It’s better to find a sound that makes you comfortable and able to play with your bandmates while taking up only the bandwidth allotted to the guitar’s part of the puzzle. If a guitar’s sound is big enough to stand on its own, there won’t be much room for the song. That’s why it’s important to have an instrument that responds to my musicality as opposed to simply nailing a “tone,” even if it sounds a little thin or weak on its own. It’s the sum of the parts that counts, which is hard to remember when picking out a guitar.” - The Signal Chain In Your Mind, Jol Dantzig, Premier Guitar, January 2011 issue
“I don’t understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound. Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off.”- Jeff Beck
“Among God's creatures two, the dog and the guitar, have taken all the sizes and all the shapes, in order not be separated from the man” - Andres Segovia
Those quotes from a famous guitar builder and two very different guitarists define the purpose of TuneYourSound.com.
Most of the guitarists see more in the guitar than just a piece of wood with some metal parts. The guitar is an extension of the guitarist's personality, which allows to express the creativity which is burning inside. This can take different tones and shapes depending on the mood, time in life,..
So the guitarist is in a constant search for the ultimate guitar sound of the moment fitting his musicality.
We are guitar players and collectors at TuneYourSound.com. Collectively we have personally owned and played over 1800 guitars. And we have seen guitar players play-from Jimi using his teeth to Jimmy using his bow.
And now, we want to tell you what we have learned over the years and under the stages.
- First: There should be two primary guitars in your life. The one you start with (by choice or coincidence) and the one you finish with (once you find it, you'll know it and keep it). But of course, humans are acquisitive by nature, so we are prone to own more than we need-but a guitar player must have what he really needs.
- Two: Sometimes it's better for a guitar to be heard than seen and other times it's better for a guitar to be seen than heard. So, play it both ways. Buy a guitar that does both.
- Three: Avoid the hype. Especially now with the Internet overloading us with data. Buy a guitar that you trust from someone you trust.
- Four: Make it personal. Establish a relationship with your seller. That way you will never be disappointed-nor abandoned. After all, it is still about money-your money. And you deserve to get more than you give.
