If This Old Guitar Could Talk...

Wed, Dec 16, 2009

 A new online social network for guitar lovers and collectors has just gone live. http://www.dbtwang.com aims to become the worlds largest online guitar database where collectors and guitar lovers all over the world can not only interact, but also protect their guitars and share their history.

Features of the dbtwang.com experience include individual profiles of guitars with details of their history and an online guitar photo gallery where you can show off your prized possessions and check out what other collectors have. Users also have the ability to 'follow a guitar' and converse with its owner.

Simply registering and logging on to http://www.dbtwang.com opens the door to over 1,000 like-minded guitar enthusiasts (registered during beta testing). The majority of registered users are so far based in the USA (42%) and the UK (40%) with the remaining 18% made up of users from Ireland, the rest of Europe and Asia. Current targets aim to increase that membership to over 10,000 users worldwide in the next 6 months.

dbTwang Chief Executive

Keith Bohanna says its the first network of its type "Up until now, passionate guitar fans have had very limited access to their peers through online forums. http://www.dbtwang.com will offer them a new, complete social and interactive experience where they can share details of their collections, but also protect their instruments.

 

We aim to have over 4 million dbTwang members worldwide by 2015. By that time dbTwang will be the world's number one online guitar database where registered users can check up an instrument's history and credentials before investing in it.

dbTwang will offer basic services free of charge", added Mr Bohanna, "however we will also offer a premium service with a small charge for use of exclusive services including a number of ways to protect these great instruments."
