Fender Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster MN, Olympic White

With the Fender Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster, seen here with a stunning Olympic White finish, you get a premium-quality, accurately-reproduced replica of an electric guitar that features countless hit records over the past four and a half decades.

The original Hitmaker was purchased by Nile in a Miami music shop, and was first used by him during his time with Chic. Since then Nile has written, produced, and performed on recordings that have sold in excess of 500-million albums around the world, and the Hitmaker was a large part of that success.

Thanks to a 1960's-style Alder body, '59-profiled neck, hardtail bridge, locking tuners, custom-wound pickups, and even a mirrored pickguard, the Hitmaker is recreated here in all its glory. There's even a "Nile Rodgers & Chic" logo on the rear of the headstock, a custom Hitmaker logo stamped onto the neck plate, and a vintage-style hardshell case and certificate of authenticity to complete the package.

Fender Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster MN, Olympic White Key Features

• Premium-Grade Construction - Featuring a 60s-style alder body that's been carved to be uniquely smaller and more-contoured than a traditional Strat, a custom 59-profile one-piece Maple neck and fingerboard, and much more besides, it's no wonder the original "Hitmaker" was such a mainstay in Niles' arsenal.
• Rock-Solid Hardware - Ensuring that you sound your best with each and every performance, this gutiar has been equipped with not only a hardtail bridge, but also a set of Sperzel Locking tuning machines. This combination guarantees superior levels of tuning stability and intonation, as well as faster string changes, making the guitar ideal for professional performers. In addition to this, an eye-catching mirrored chrome pickguard truly helps it stand out from the crowd.
• Classic Hitmaker Tones - Powering the voice on this guitar is a trio of Hitmaker Single-Coil Strat pickups. These pickups have been voiced to accurately replicate the quack, chime, and bell-like clarity of the original guitar.
• Hardshell Case Included - To keep it safe from harm as you travel from show to show, the Fender Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster comes complete with a deluxe Limited Edition Hardshell case with a Hitmaker embroidered interior. So don't delay, and order yours from PMT Online today!
