    The black color is ok since probably most of your visitors will be rock lovers and they like dark colors.

    Now what would I correct:
    1. There are too many ads. It's confusing with those many ads on the homepage.
    2. When you click on a picture it opens the direct picture. Try opening it either in a new window, a javascript pop-up or a lightbox effect with Ajax.
    3. When you click on a price it opens a page that has no contents, just a link to your main page.

    There is much wok needed on the website still...

    thanks for the comments !!

    The Auction Ads are for comparison of prices without somebody having to go search e-Bay to see a comparably priced item.

    I never use javascript popups because 90% of people block popups, so they're useless. The lightbox Ajax effect only work in browsers that support Ajax and I prefer not to involve Ajax because like Macromedia Flash, it's one of the worst things you can do for SEO. On this particular site, the indiviual guitar pictures opening from a link will make sure they get into Google's "image search" and most guitar players search for images and will find your page that way.

    As far as priyakochin's question about using AdSense, it defeats the purpose of the site. I'm trying to get people into E-Bay through the Auction Ad links to bid on these high priced items. I make plenty of money from Adsense on other sites, but I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket.

    :D

    Nice and clean layout. Why not use something like a lightbox for the screenshots? Would be much better.

    Black sky blue is ok but there is need to work on header as it looks .... (don't know what to say). I agree with vangardx about the white background.
