.GUITARS Domain Extension

Why choose a .GUITARS domain?

The plural is not a detail: it is what moves the word from the player to the trade. A guitar is an object — one person’s, propped in a corner. Guitars is something else: a shop wall, a luthier’s bench, a collection, a rental fleet. So the extension speaks to whoever handles more than one. And the word is almost identical in French, one letter apart — “guitares” against “guitars”. That is the one thing to check before choosing.

The shop wall

Real stock, in-store trials, part exchange. A buyer wants to know what is hanging today, not what is in the catalogue.

The workshop

Setups, frets, electronics, top and neck repairs. Turnaround and price ranges: the two questions asked on the phone.

Teaching

One-to-one lessons, a school, group workshops, online courses. Name the styles taught: classical and metal do not draw the same people.

Used instruments

Second-hand, vintage, consignment, valuations. A sharp photograph of the wear beats a reassuring paragraph.

Almost the same word

“Guitares” in French, “guitars” in English: one letter apart. Close enough to be understood, different enough to be mistyped.

What it actually changes

• The plural names a trade. A shop, a workshop, a collection: never a single instrument.
• It names the object, not the music. That is what separates it from .music: here we are talking wood and strings.
• No registration restrictions. No instrument business to demonstrate to the registrar.
• Mind the French spelling. “Guitares” takes an e: plan the redirect if your customers are local.
