WHO?
Hi. My name is ilya (http://www.ilyaBegelman.com/music), I administer/update this website. I’m an amateur musician who buys musical gear from a variety of places online and off.
HOW?
Each ‘post’ on the homepage is a profile of an online music gear shop which is rated and reviewed by musicians and/or music gear heads like yourself. Browse through the site and feel free to comment/rate on any of the stores with whom you’ve done business or just browse the posts for info to help you decide where to make your next purchase. To get to the actual store site click on the site logo or the ‘Visit Site’ link on the main review summary page.
My goal is to allow people to share their positive and negative experiences as well as rate and review various online stores that sell music gear. You can use the sharing buttons in each of the site profiles to bookmark/email/share with anyone you choose.
I DO monitor for spam, in addition to automated spam detection I manually look at the reviews/ratings to keep the information as useful as possible.
If you don’t see a store on the site that you’ve purchased from (no matter if your experience was good or bad) please contact me with the website name via the contact form:

I am aware that there are other sites out there that provide similar ‘reseller’ ratings. This site is DIFFERENT!
1. This site is focused specifically on providing information about music gear/accessories related resellers.
2. You will not see distracting/confusing ads on the site.
3. This site is developed/maintained by a living/breathing amateur musician, me; I will listen to your feedback to make the site as useful as possible.
*I do affiliate with certain retailers but this in no way affects the rating/positioning of their name/info on the site. The reviews left by you to help others make a decision on where to buy their music gear are the focus and lifeblood of this site.
WHY?
I haven’t really seen a resource that specifically helps one decide where to buy music gear online; whether it be a new or used guitar or just a cable or some strings. Therefore I decided to put together this website.
WHEN?
I started this up in 2009.
