Fender / Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster Maple Olympic White [Weight: 3.53kg] [S/N: NR00927]

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.
