{"product_id":"fender-nile-rodgers-hitmaker-stratocaster","title":"Fender Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster","description":"\u003cp\u003eNile Rodgers bought a used 1960 hardtail Stratocaster in a Miami music shop, sprayed it Olympic White himself in the early days of Chic, and has played it on every hit he has produced since. The Hitmaker recreates it, including the 1960 alder body that is smaller and more contoured than a typical vintage Strat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardtail is the point. A strings-through-body bridge with bent steel saddles and no tremolo, plus locking tuners. The Hitmaker single-coils are voiced after the original, and the middle pickup is reverse wound, reverse polarity, so the in-between positions cancel hum. The second tone covers the bridge pickup. The one-piece maple neck has a 1959 C profile with a satin finish, a 9.5\" radius maple board, medium jumbo frets and a bone nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mirrored chrome-plated brass pickguard and white speed knobs complete the look, with a \"Nile Rodgers \u0026amp; Chic\" logo on the back of the headstock and a Hitmaker neck plate. Made in the USA, Olympic White with a maple board, right-handed, with an embroidered hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity. For a 60s Strat with a tremolo, see the American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Alder\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Stratocaster\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: 11-hole Chrome Plated Brass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Construction: 4-Bolt Standard\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish with Gloss Headstock Face\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: 1959 \"C\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 9.5\" (241 mm)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003cbr\u003ePosition Inlays: Black Dot\u003cbr\u003eSide Dots: Black\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 21\u003cbr\u003eFret Size: Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Vintage-Style Butt Adjust\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1.625\" (41.3 mm)\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: Hitmaker Nile Rogers Strat\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Pickup: Hitmaker Nile Rogers RWRP Strat\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup: Hitmaker Nile Rogers Strat\u003cbr\u003ePickup Configuration: SSS\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, Tone 1.
