True fans of Tom Morello won't buy it, they will buy a shitty guitar and mod it ultil they will (not) find the tone they want. This guitar is awesome by the way !

[@TheZooropaBaby]

well Tom himself did mod the Soul Power guitar to his liking lol. his was originally factory special run Aerodyne strat which probably was expensive, but still

[@Christian-my4dp]

This guitar is to the exact specs of the actual Soul Power

Thank goodness he said the “soul power” decal isn’t on it already. I was about to comment how it ruins my interest. Good call not putting it on! Looks like a pretty original strat in its details.

[@abrahamruiz8473]

When they showed two different versions with and without it I thought they made two different models, smarter choice they made it a decal instead

The majority of Tom's playing is syncopated riff rock done using the neck pickup and modest amounts of gain. It's a little frustrating to not hear any of that in this demonstration.

[@ryanpatrickcasavant9464]

William Finch “Killing In The Name” is tuned to drop D on a Tele (I think the “Sendero Luminoso” guitar) and the Soul Power is a Standard-tuned guitar.

[@aknightwing9077]

Hes not endorsing. He agreed to under the condition that fender donates guitars to charities he supports

[@kaneo67]

thats awesome.those noiseless pickups seem to have a very uniform sound from guitar to guitar.I have two guitars that have them

[@romanlakes]

That’s because pickups really are the defining factor for an electric guitar, all the stuff about tonewood, fretboard etc is a myth. No matter what the mystics say, an electric guitar is defined by its electronic components

[@sEaNoYeAh]

​@@romanlakes90% true but also the pickups interact with the strings, so position of pickup relative to strings, scale length, string gauge and tension are factors too. But yeah no such thing as tone woods

"I've always wanted a kill switch in a guitar.... and now I've found an expensive way to get one!" I'm actually kind of down with the flashy style of it, especially without the decal, and I'm not too comfortable with the compound radius, but still really like to try one of these out just for fun
