New Home for Guitar-DNA

Due to web hosting costs, we've made the decision to relocate the Guitar-DNA to Blogspot. We will still be featuring the same article material, but not hosting it on the www.guitar-dna.com website as we had been. We'll still feature thoughts and reviews on new guitar and bass gear new and old, as well as the occasional brain droppings.

For those not too familiar with the Guitar-DNA format, DNA was a website run by myself (Dave Wiese) and Aaron Valentine, and featured reviews, thoughts and philosophy on guitar and bass gear from the instruments themselves, to the barest accessories involved. We never focused on playing technique or music theory, as these are subject to each player. Basically, it was a concept that revolved around what we were looking for, but couldn't really find on Harmony Central, or other review sites. We were basically sick of finding reviews that were minimized to "Don't buy this amp, it sucks, and doesn't sound like AC/DC".

So in the near future, we'll be adding new blogs on guitar gear we feel should be mentioned, or new gear that stands out, as well as some finds on old gear. We don't use the DNA to promote anything but gear we feel strongly about, and we receive no compensation from any of the companies mentioned. We welcome feedback from our readers, and will be happy to answer any questions.

About us: Aaron and I have been in and out of bands together since 1992. Aaron is the guitarist end of DNA, and is more knowledged in the electronics aspect of guitars and amps. I have been playing bass since that time, and guitar a little as well. I'm more up-to-date on what gear is being released, what gears out there, and theories on tone woods, pickups, hardware, and various other nuances of guitar gear. We're picky about what we use down to the most basic accessories and hardware of our gear and have modded many pieces from guitars and basses, to amps and pedals. Our opinions may seem antiquated by modern standards, such as newer digital modeling technology on many guitars and amps. We believe in creating sound the old fashion way, not emulating it.

Feel free to comment on anything posted, we check periodically.
