Fender Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Olympic White

Nile Rodgers is one of the most prolific talents in pop music. Though not always taking center stage, you’ve certainly heard his work. His songwriting and production skills can be found across generations with a staggering resume of collaborations with artists from David Bowie to Lady Gaga, Mick Jagger to Daft Punk. One constant factor in Rodgers’ storied career is his work on a Fender Stratocaster – though not just any Stratocaster, but his “Hitmaker”.

The guitar you see before you is a recreation of the 1960 hardtail Stratocaster Rodgers never parted with throughout his decades in the industry. Based off his original “Hitmaker”, the Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster radiates distinct funky soul and style that is simply timeless. Those seeking a claim to pop music royalty need look no further than a recreation of an instrument that saw it all firsthand.

Ready for snappy riffs, the Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Guitar is primed for the dancefloor. A uniquely contoured 1960-shaped alder body is smaller in size than a traditional vintage Strat. This smaller body, combined with a maple neck in a 1959 “C” profile, makes the Hitmaker easily slung over the shoulder with a strap and effortlessly danceable. The disco stomp of Chic’s “Good Times” can already be felt and heard after picking up this guitar

Tonally, the Nile Rodgers Hitmaker’s single-coil Stratocaster pickups are voiced to play with the same disco snap and clarity as the Hitmaker’s originals. This voice is complemented with slick playability. A hardtail string-through-bridge and locking Sperzel tuners cut out any variable that might detract the endless grooves. Matching this pop music relic replica with a lacquer Olympic White finish and a mirrored chrome-plated brass pickguard tops off authenticity to a tee. Anywhere you take this Nile Rodgers Signature Stratocaster, it is sure to leave a trail of gold from Rodgers – a true figure of pop music royalty. See Nile Rodgers Hitmaker specs below.
