Frequently Asked Questions
What this site is, what it is not yet, and how it plans to earn the word "exhaustive."
Questions, Answered
- Is Gear Warrior open to the public?
- Not yet. This is a pre-launch scaffold: the domain carries a blanket noindex, and the vendor, retailer, and organization records described on the About and home pages do not exist on this site yet.
- Does this replace String Warrior's gear pages?
- No. String Warrior keeps its per-instrument anatomy pages, its beginner buying guides, and its per-string tension calculator. This site is additive: it answers a company-level question — what to buy, who makes it, who sells it — that the hub does not.
- What does "exhaustive" mean here, if the site is this small right now?
- It is a target for the categories this site sells into first — strings and pedals, the retailers that carry them, the organizations those vendors belong to — not a claim this v1 shell makes about itself. Breadth follows the catalog as records clear a sourcing floor, not the other way around.
- Will there be reviews?
- Only ones backed by first-hand evidence. This network's policy refuses spec-rehash review prose with no evidence behind it; a worked example (a priced, argued "rig") is planned only alongside the evidence engine that would make it honest.
- How will facts be sourced?
- Every fact this site eventually publishes is meant to carry a source, a publisher, and a retrieval date, shown on the page itself. A fact nobody could verify is marked unverified with its research date, or left off the page — never silently promoted to a stated fact.
- How do I report something wrong?
- Use the corrections page. A received correction becomes a task in the review queue rather than a comment nobody reads.
