Welcome to Soul String! I test Guitars, Amps, Pedals and Plugins so you can make better decisions when buying new gear! There is no marketing BS, no hidden agenda, these are all products that I try out and often use in my recording studio and live! This is a community and as such we are all in this together!

Down in the basement bunkers of Dalston, the walls sweat and the carpet smells like 50 years of spilled lager and tinnitus. This is the engine room of London music.
It’s also where I found Blind John.
He’s not interested in the polished, assembly-line perfection you see in Mayfair showrooms. He builds instruments with scars. With ghosts inside them. I spent the day tracking his 100th build—a Jazzmaster/335 hybrid that shouldn’t work, but sings like a bird.
Powered by Thomas Nilsen pickups (the same copper and magnets found in the rigs of Slash and Billy Gibbons), these things aren't just wood. They’re weapons.

Is modern gear too perfect? Does gear need to be broken to sound good? I think perfection is overrated. New video out now.

🎸 NEW INTERVIEW ALERT 🎸
Just posted an interview with Jack from Alchemy Pickups!
The challenge: Create pickups that deliver BOTH crushing metal tones AND warm vintage blues tones... in the same guitar.
Most people said it was impossible. Jack proved them wrong.

"You can't have metal AND blues in one guitar."
Jack from Alchemy Pickups proved that wrong 🔥
His Obsidian pickup set does the "impossible" - aggressive modern metal tones AND warm vintage blues tones in the same guitar.
I interviewed him at the Woking Boutique Guitar Show to find out how he did it.
Full interview + tone demo on YouTube → link in bio

Honest question. What's your guitar budget? Cause I see peps making videos about super expensive guitars and I wonder how many of us would actually be able to afford them.
