About Guitar Outpost
Since purchasing this domain name back in 1998 I have been wanting to re-launch the site with a much broader scope. Originally, GuitarOutpost.com served as the online presence for a small guitar shop in Utah that I managed around 1997-1999. During that time our store carried all the major brands and shipped guitars all over the USA as well as servicing the local community. On a personal level the domain also marked the beginning of my education in SEO and web development. It was the first domain I ever purchased and the first website I ever built. This started me down a long path of learning and exploration that led me to start my own web development business in the year 2000.
Living in Kentucky and Tennessee during 1995-1996, I learned to enjoy all types of music involving the various stringed instruments, especially the guitar. I bought my first guitar at a small pawn shop in Nashville during that time and began to play and write music in my spare time. When I came back to Utah I had the opportunity to manage a new guitar shop and couldn’t resist. I attended several NAMM shows during those years and my eyes were opened to the entire music industry. Those were the days when you could bump into people like Dick Dale, and Steve Perry and just chat with them.
