Suede Social
The guitar mag with a forum
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A guitar magazine that doesn't roll over for advertisers. The Internet Has Thoughts column, the Suede 100 list, rig diaries, and a forum that actually talks back.
Suede Social is a guitar magazine and forum for people who are tired of press releases dressed up as journalism.
Read what the rest of the internet is actually saying about new gear, scroll the Suede 100 list of the best and worst things in guitar right now, follow rig diaries from working players, and post in a forum that isn't moderated to death by a brand-safe gear retailer.
What's inside:
The Internet Has Thoughts — a daily column that pulls real opinions from forums, comment sections, and the wider guitar internet, then says out loud what trade press won't. New gear launches, reissues, signature deals, factory drama. Read what working players think, not what the marketing team approved.
The Suede 100 — the best and worst things in guitar this season, ranked. The list the press will never print, because half the entries belong to companies that buy ads.
Rig Diaries — long-form posts from Jason Colapietro and a rotating roster of working guitarists. Real signal chains, real failure stories, real tone decisions. Not gear-of-the-month influencer slop.
Brand-voice columns from Johnny Suede — the house voice of Suede. Opinionated, specific, anti-template. If you've ever wanted a guitar publication that actually has a point of view, this is it.
The Forum — a database-backed discussion board where you can argue about tone caps, complain about the latest reissue, or share what's on your pedalboard. Threaded replies, real handles, no algorithmic ranking, no fake engagement bait.
