Interview

By the way, if anybody has the February issue of Guitar & Bass magazine from the UK, I was interviewed for their article on Counterfeits, as well as having some pictures published. This came about because of this site. They don’t seem to have an archive of articles that is publicly available, so you’ll have to track down a hard copy, but the article was quite in-depth, covering all aspects of counterfeits.

We’re back

It’s been some time, and a year of challenges for us, personal and financial, but Gearsecure is taking its first steps towards our ultimate goals. We’re working on a whole new site design with more automation and far more capabilities by the end of the year. I don’t have time to get into details here, but the redesign is massive.

Thanks for stopping by and sticking with us. Its time to start growing as a project, and with your support, we’ll be able to start recovering gear again.
