Fender / Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster Maple Fingerboard Olympic White Nile Rodgers [3.47kg] [S/N NR00919]
Nile Rodgers model! !
Nile Rodgers has sold over 500 million albums worldwide, and not only performs on them, but also writes and produces them. All the hits he produced have one thing in common. Through it all, Nile used a 1960 Fender Hardtail Stratocaster that he bought at a music store in Miami. Nile, who released a huge number of hits into the world, and his guitar were inseparable.
The Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster is uniquely smaller than your typical vintage Strat, and is built with a 1960s-shaped alder body with deeper contours. The beautiful Olympic White lacquer finish is the same finish that Niall sprayed on his guitar shortly after he acquired it in the early days of his funk-disco band Chic. The custom '59 profile one-piece maple neck has a satin finish, 9.5" radius fingerboard, and medium jumbo frets. The back of the headstock features the "Nile Rodgers & Chic" logo, and the neck plate is engraved with the Hitmaker logo.
Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Single-Coil Strat pickups perfectly recreate the distinctive sound and crisp chime of the original Hitmaker. Other features include a hardtail string-through bridge with period-correct bent steel saddle, eye-catching mirrored chrome-plated brass pickguard, Sperzel locking tuners, and white speed knob. Also included is a vintage style case with Hitmaker embroidery and a certificate of authenticity.
■CUSTOM CONTOURED ALDER BODY
It features an alder body that is slightly smaller than a typical Stratocaster. It reproduces his original hit maker down to the last detail and provides comfortable playability.
■OLYMPIC WHITE LACQUER FINISH
Nile has refinished the Hitmaker, which was originally a Sunburst color, in Olympic White. Fender's Olympic White lacquer finish has a true-to-vintage look that ages gracefully, allowing the wood to breathe and letting the instrument's natural personality shine through.
■CUSTOM NILE RODGERS HITMAKER SINGLE-COIL PICKUPS
A Custom Strat pickup with a voicing that recreates Nile's original Hitmaker vintage single coil, providing the clarity you need to get his famous tone.
■CHROME-PLATED BRASS PICKGUARD
By using a chrome-plated brass pickguard, it has a look that rivals the original.
■HARDTAIL STRAT BRIDGE
A rare vintage hardtail string-through-body bridge provides a tight, solid sound with powerful tone and sustain perfect for funk rhythms.
■SPERZEL LOCKING TUNERS
Like the original Hitmaker, it uses Sperzel locking tuners. Achieves tuning stability and quick string changes.
■Accessories: Vintage style hard shell case (with Hitmaker embroidery), tremolo arm, wrench
