Submit your news to Guitar Radar

For guitarists and bands, guitar and amp makers, pedal and accessory brands, software and plug-in developers, distributors and dealers, labels, PR agencies and festival organizers: if you have news that matters to guitar players, this is where to send it.

Please use this form, not e-mail.

Everything sent through the form lands in one editorial queue with all the details we need — official link, dates, price and availability, photos — so we can verify it and cover it faster. News sent by e-mail is easily missed.

Gear and software

  • A new guitar, bass, amp, pedal or accessory
  • A plug-in, app or modeler: new release or major update, firmware
  • A signature model or artist collaboration product
  • A limited edition, a new line, a new factory
  • Company news: partnership, distribution, acquisition

Music and players

  • A new album, single or music video
  • A notable tour, festival or international collaboration
  • An award, competition or nomination
  • A lineup or career change
  • A workshop, masterclass or educational project

What helps most: a link to the official announcement or product page, the date, for products the price and availability, and links to press photos and an official video.

What happens next: we check the facts against the original source and, if it is a fit, cover it in the normal news flow and possibly in the weekly Guitar Week. This isn't a gig calendar and sending news doesn't guarantee publication — and it is free and editorial, it can't buy coverage. For paid options see Advertising & Partnerships.

3. The news

Plain facts: what it is, who it is for and what is new. No marketing superlatives needed.

Paste the press release or specs here (up to 30,000 characters), or just leave the official link below. A link to the press release as a Google Doc or PDF also works: put it in “Any other relevant link” in step 4.

The single most useful thing you can add — we cover news from its original source.

Optional, one or two sentences.

Only if the news is under embargo.

4. Photos, video and links

Send links, not files: a press photo, product image or cover, an official video, a player. We use the images and videos from the original source page.

Paste a link to a photo that is already published, for example on your website or press page. The form has no file upload.

5. Confirmation

Sending this doesn't guarantee publication. We verify tips and cover the ones with real informational value for guitarists.
