View Full Version : Gear reviews idea

Here's an idea that entered my head late one night. Guitar players like to read gear reviews. We already have a few good reviews buried in here, so I was thinking I could make a separate section on thefret.net that has gear reviews, be it guitars, amps, pedals, etc, so that they would be easier to find. At the top navigation bar, I would add a "Reviews" link so it's easily accessible from any page.

If you would like to have a review you wrote listed in this new section, let me know. In the meantime, I'm going to try and dig up reviews from these forums and ask the authors for permission.

Feedback on this would be most welcome!

With all the GAS, experience and knowledge around here, sounds like a great idea!

Absolutely! I think reviews from the likes of those here would be very helpful.

An excellent idea. This will give me something to do while I am at work :)

Great to hear! Submit your reviews to me! If you know of any good ones here on the Fret, let me know. Or help me search for them.

I am trying to get a hold of Kat to see if I can use his recent Strat review.

Robert, you can freely use all my reviews! There's one coming up for the Reverend Warhawk HB too...

Instead of "Reviews", you should call it "The GAS Tank" :D

Great idea! You can use any reviews I might have authored royalty free.

Is this going to be something that ends up like our other threads with fish cooking recipes intermingled, or more a stand alone review type a'la Harmony Central style?

Weellll, there might be some gear involved in properly preparing Lutefisk!

I think that's a really good idea. I think it would be even better if we could standardize (or how its spelled) the format of the reviews so we got a template to use. That way it'll be easier to compare gear against each others if all the reviews contains the same things.
