Editorial Policy

Who publishes these guides

GuitarShopTV publishes guitar explainers, setup guides, and free calculators. The GuitarShopTV byline identifies the publisher. It does not identify a named guitarist, technician, or medical professional.

Sources and revisions

Manufacturer documentation is the starting point for instrument compatibility and equipment specifications. Selling guides link to official policies where fees or payment rules matter. Check the linked policy and your own instrument's manual before making a purchase or adjustment.

Drafting can include AI assistance. Sources, examples, and tool calculations require review; AI output alone is not evidence. A guide's publication date and latest revision date appear separately. A revision date can reflect a correction or clearer navigation and does not mean every older claim has been independently retested.

Examples and free tools

Worked selling examples use stated assumptions rather than actual offers or guaranteed market prices. Our free tools explain their inputs and limits. For example, the string tension guide describes the unit-weight formula and the electric string construction assumptions behind its calculator. Gauge alone does not establish tension.

Guides and calculators help you compare options and plan checks. They do not replace an instrument inspection, a qualified amplifier repair, or professional care for pain while playing.

Corrections
