About Us
The Guitar Sherpa is simply an organized online database of stringed instrument information. It is comprised of two major search mechanisms...The Guitar Sherpa Directory and The Guitar Sherpa Search Engine.
From the directory section homepage, the user can browse down from the eight major category groups to over 100 specific categories (e.g. Acoustic Guitar Dealers). Where location is often a concern (e.g. Stringed Instrument Repair and Restoration), the user has the option to sort that page by state. Each listing contains editorial information specific to that category as it pertains to the directory section. All listed establishments are linked to the appropriate section (when possible) of their website, again, as it pertains to the directory section.
The search engine aspect of the site (courtesy of Google) is represented by the search box contained on every live page. Here the user can search for very specific stringed instrument information. This search engine only spiders the current over 2000 websites contained in our directory. You can further delineat that search by manufacturer, dealer, builder, or information.
The goal of The Guitar Sherpa is to make it easy for the user to quickly disseminate through a (growing) mass of stringed instrument information.
