ABOUT GUITAR FAIL
Welcome to Guitar Fail, where we celebrate guitar gaffes since 2011.
We’re not in the business of being mean… just poking a little fun.
We’re all about exploring the funny side of guitar. Our motto is simple: “In it for the guitar fail!“
Guitar Fail is an independent editorial project by S/em, built around a long-standing obsession with guitars, odd ideas and things that probably didn’t need to exist.
What started in 2011 as a collection of guitar oddities gradually turned into a playground for visual jokes, editorial concepts, dubious educational systems and assorted guitar-related nonsense…
Enjoy the ride.
DISCLAIMER
Greetings, guitar enthusiasts… Here’s a little somethin’ somethin’ about this place. Guitar Fail is made for laughs, questionable observations and the occasional accidentally useful piece of information.
We poke fun at guitar culture, not at people. Opinions may be biased, claims may be dubious and scientific accuracy may vary dramatically depending on whether Guitar Fail Math 101 is involved.

So, there ya have it. You’re in good hands with Guitar Fail!
