The arithmetic

The setup alone covers it.
The rest is the point.

One professional setup a year is worth $175 on its own, which is more than a founding membership costs for the whole twelve months. Put free admission to every Guild Live show beside it, then member repair pricing on every job that follows, priority and emergency turnaround when a gig is at stake, and partner discounts across the city, and the question stops being whether it pays for itself.

Annual is the better rate in every tier. It is also the one that lets us guarantee money to bands months before the door is counted, which is the whole reason the series works.

Before you join

Questions we are asked

What counts as a musician?

Anyone who plays. There is no audition, and no requirement to be touring, signed or paid for it. If you own an instrument and use it, the musician tiers are for you. A verified public artist profile is a separate step, and it is optional.

How does the free setup work?

Once in each membership year, bring an instrument to the bench and we set it up at no charge. It is booked like any other job rather than jumped to the front of the queue, and it covers the setup itself: strings, action, intonation, truss adjustment. Parts, fretwork and structural repair are billed separately, at member pricing.

Can people who are not members come to the shows?

Yes. Every Guild Live show is open to the public at the door price shown on the event. Membership makes admission free and opens the presale window before general sale.

What are guest passes?

A set number of admissions each year that you can hand to somebody who is not a member, so you can bring a partner, a bandmate, or the friend who has never been to one of these. They sit against your membership and are used at the door.

How does cancellation work?

Monthly memberships can be cancelled at any point and run to the end of the month already paid for. Annual memberships run to the end of the term and then simply stop unless renewed. Benefits already taken in that term, the annual setup in particular, are not refunded.

Is this Mythic Guitar Company under another name?

No. The Guild is operated by LMBHC LLC, and Mythic Guitar Company is its anchor partner. That relationship is why the bench benefits are as good as they are, but the Guild books its own shows, signs its own venues and holds its own members. Other partners sit alongside Mythic rather than beneath it.
