About Guitar Radar
Guitar Radar covers new gear, guitarists, and what's moving across the guitar world — pedal and amp releases, new guitars, albums and videos, lineup changes, and industry news.
The goal is simple: make it easier for guitarists to keep track of what's happening without having to follow dozens of different sites, manufacturers, artists and channels. Every Guitar Radar story is prepared as an individual editorial piece and links back to its source, so readers can always go deeper and verify the original information.
What Guitar Radar covers
News · Players · Gear · Music · Videos · Industry · Learn · New Releases
Guitar Radar deliberately doesn't stop at the usual rock/metal/new-pedal news cycle. Classical guitar, flamenco, bluegrass, jazz, fingerstyle, boutique and independent builders, and plenty of scenes most big outlets never reach — these get actively hunted down and covered here on their own terms, not just picked up when they happen to cross a bigger publication's radar first. If something genuinely interesting is happening anywhere in the guitar world, it belongs here.

Submit your news →Support Guitar Radar
Guitar Radar is independent — one person (Peter Luha), no investors, no ad network deciding what's worth covering. Subscribing to Guitar Week, the free weekly email, is the simplest way to support that and keeps this whole approach worth the effort. Passing it along to guitarist friends and anyone else into guitar music helps just as much — the aim is for people to always have good, current guitar information from every corner of the instrument, including what comes straight from the players, builders, and festivals themselves, not only what the biggest sites happen to notice.
Sourcing & corrections
Sources are always linked at the bottom of the article — the primary one a story is actually built on, plus any others that added something. If something looks wrong — a broken link, a fact that doesn't hold up, a headline that overstates it — use "Report an issue" on the article, or . E-mail is for corrections and partnership questions only; news and press releases go through the news form.
Guitar Radar is created and published by guitarist, composer and educator Peter Luha. For how stories are put together and sourced, see How Guitar Radar works.
Practice
Alongside Guitar Radar, Peter is developing Practice, a training platform for musicians designed to help turn inspiration into regular, focused practice — a separate project from the same person. Guitar Radar is the news side; neither one requires the other.
