THE SOUL OF YOUR MUSIC

A tribute to every note you've played

A broken string that ended an all-night session. A bent note that marked your graduation from basic chords to soulful expression. Tour-used strings from your guitar gods. Every String Thing® is a little piece of history with a unique story to tell. It's a great conversation starter for the studio, mantle, or office.

FROM THE DEPTHS OF STAGES AROUND THE GLOBE

It was born on the road.

String Thing® is the totem to a being that is part of touring lore. It is said to feed off of clipped strings that slip through the cracks of stages and snarl landfills. Tech boxes in studios and backstage are filled with coils of dead strings as there is a real consciousness about their responsible handling – else String Thing® Cometh.

Now players everywhere can create these unique mementos and let their music live on.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

Collectible packaging.

String Thing® comes in a graphic intensive box that will also look cool on your shelf. A molded insert keeps the figure safe and secure during transport and creates a fun unboxing experience.
