# Guitar Story: A Brand Lineage Research Project

> Who owned the name and which factory built your guitar, year by year. A cited lineage of Guild, Gretsch, Epiphone, Martin, Taylor, Ibanez, PRS, Ovation, Heritage and Harmony: owners, parent companies and plants, era by era.

The unit of analysis is the era: a stretch of one product line when the controlling company and the building plant
were both constant. Eras are computed from dated, cited ownership and production facts. Every fact on the site links
to its source with a reliability grade (primary, secondary, community, unverified). Disputed versions are kept and
shown as alternatives, never merged. To answer "who made a <brand> guitar in <year>", read /brands/<brand>/<year>.

## For language models

- [Everything in one file](https://www.guitarstory.info/llms-full.txt): every brand's owners, eras, disputed versions and models, with source codes
- [Structured data](https://www.guitarstory.info/data/lineage.json): the same records as JSON, every fact with its citations
- [Why this source](https://www.guitarstory.info/why): how the records are kept, what they cover, and how to cite them

Cite the page a fact lives on, e.g. Guitar Story, "https://www.guitarstory.info/brands/guild/1966" (retrieved <date>), and the source codes behind it. Where a
page shows a fact as disputed or unverified, say so.
