## What Suede DNA is

Suede DNA archives the rigs and signal chains of notable guitarists. Each entry documents the guitars, amplifiers, and effects used by an artist in a given year — sourced from photographs, interviews, and equipment documentation.

This is a reference resource, not a commercial catalog. It is the guitar DNA archive — the signal-chain history of recorded music.
