The ultimate blend of modern and traditional. The Kingdom Soord with Seymour Duncan pickups delivers an absolutely stunning tone across the board. Sparkly cleans and full-sounding distortion, this monster does it all.

Design and Conquer

Initially designed and prototyped in 2014/15 as a one-off instrument for Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief/Wisdom of Crowds, the first ‘SOORD’ (a play-on-words of ‘sword’ of course) was based around Bruce’s requirements for studio writing/recording and live/touring use. He wanted a guitar that was based around an old Highway One Telecaster with the same kind of neck profile and body shape but with humbucker pickups. Because of the dynamic range of songs in TPT’s back catalogue, the SOORD had to be capable of packing a punch with overdriven/distorted tones but also produce a clean sparkle for more chorded voicings and clarity and resonance for individually picked phrases. We have now produced this small production run and can also build one-off custom versions at your request.

Kingdom SOORD players include: Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief – Bruce used his SOORD on the whole of the Your Wilderness album if you are looking for an audio demo! Jack Darnell of Confessions Of A Traitor (full-custom UK-made SOORD) and David Gillam (SOORD with EMG HetSet).

    Recently bought a SOORD guitar, played live, in studio sessions and in my home studio.
    Just excellent!! The fretboard is nice to play and very confortable for your hands, and the well balanced weight of the whole instrument made this guitar perfect for live sessions.
    Sound very warm and rich, with seyomur duncan pickups, dynamic and perfect for blues – hard rock to heavy metal. The clean sound is sparkle and crystal clear in the neck position and more warm and rich in the bridge.
    As the same the distortion, very dynamic and full of body, big and rich in harmonics, warm in the bridge position and more smooth in neck.
    Last but not least the design: is amazing. The shape reminds me the Telecaster body, but the effect is completely different: a perfect meeting of the traditional and modern,
    with a touch of dark – Kingdom style, highly refined in all its parts from the luthiers.
    An instrument with great reliability and very good value for money, higly advised in live and studio sessions.
