Thumbs up GUITARGEEK Magazine???

I would love to see GUITARGEEK Magazine on the shelves someday. It wouldn't even have to be monthly.

Guitar Shop came and went a few years ago, and I really liked it. This seems like a likely successor.

At the very least, I think a GUITARGEEK photo annual would be really sweet. Almost like a coffee table book, for GEEKS of course.

When you say Newsletter do you mean an E-Mail or a Physical one. The idea of sending out those E-Mail newsletters on a more regular basis could be cool

I'd love if guitarGeek had a magazine, a physical one. I'd sure subscribe.

Guitar World's monthly feature "Vulgar Display Of Power" is credited to Guitar Geek. G1 and GP have inferior rig diagrams.

This is a far cry from an entire magazine dedicated to gear and geeked rigs.....

I would love to see a 300 page full color Guitargeek Rig book. 40 bucks retail you could make some major buxx.

I have seen almost every rig on GG like 4 times and I still look at them all the time.

I'm in college now - I took music my first 2 semesters and am switching to be a journalism major. My goal was to be a writer for some guitar or music publication, but Guitar Geek magazine would be the PERFECT job!

sounds like an awesome idea to me, and each issue maybe have a different member's own rig geeked and reviewed, maybe guest columns by geeks? (frinky on les pauls, jerryyP on amp modding, one of the fx moders on FX.)

I could write a monthly column on how to divert yourself with guitars if you are a wealthy professional with no talent.. I am an expert on the topic.
