H.E.R. Signature electric guitar with a refreshing look and classic sound
The Fender Limited Edition H.E.R. Stratocaster MN Blue Marlin impresses as the Signature guitar of the five Grammies and one Oscar-winning R&B singer from California with a refreshing combination of modern looks and classic vintage appointments. Under the subtly iridescent "Blue Marlin Finish hides accordingly a classically built Strat with an alder body and comfortable "Mid '60s C" maple neck. At the guitar amp, the H.E.R. Signature Strat with three FenderVintage Noiseless Single Coils delivers flexible sounds in the best Fender tradition, ideally suited for sensitive solos and harmonic song accompaniment. A classic hardware setup with Synchronized Tremolo and Vintage-Style tuners completes the Limited Edition H.E.R. Stratocaster MN Blue Marlin by Fender.
The Fender Limited Edition H.E.R. Stratocaster Blue Marlin convinces as a signature guitar of the successful R&B artist with a successful mix of vintage appointments and modern looks.
A neckplate with "H.E.R." engraving connects the alder body to the comfortable "Mid '60s C" maple neck.
Striking Strat with comfortable handling
The H.E.R. Strat convinces not only with its shimmering "Blue Marlin" finish, which adorns not only the body but also the front of the headstock, but also with the usual comfortable playing characteristics. Due to the "Contour Body" shaping, which has been proven since the Fifties, the alder body lies with perfect balance on the body, while the slim "Mid '60s C" profile of the bolt-on maple neck nestles comfortably in the hand so that even the 21-fret maple fingerboard every lick goes out of the hand with playful ease.
Three Vintage Noiseless Single Coils promise bell-like and warm Fender sounds without annoying background noise.
Vintage Noiseless Single Coils
The electrical tone conversion of the Fender H.E.R. Stratocaster is handled by three FenderVintage Noiseless Single Coils. The pickups, which are equipped with hand-straightened Alnico II pole pieces, elicit a warm, bell-like sound from the guitar amplifier in the best Fender tradition, which is just as suitable for song-serving chords as it is for sensitive solos. The special design of the pickups prevents unwanted noise from spoiling the sound experience. The pickups are also controlled classically by means of a 5-way switch, volume control and two tone pots, one of which is reserved exclusively for the bridge pickup.
Vintage-style split-shaft tuners with small wings keep the H.E.R. Strat securely in the correct tuning.
Indestructible Vintage-Style hardware
Last but not least, Fender completes the Limited Edition H.E.R. Stratocaster Blue Marlin with high-quality Vintage-Style hardware that more than meets professional demands at Studio and on stage. As bridge naturally a buttery smooth responding Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo is used, whose shimmering pitch variations harmonically decorate melodies or chords. Six traditionally crafted string saddles made of bent sheet steel not only support the lively sound character of the Signature guitar but also guarantee optimal intonation and position of each string. On the headstock, vintage-style split-shaft tuners with small wings ensure precise and robust tuning of the H.E.R. Signature Strat.
