Fender Limited Edition H.E.R. Stratocaster, Blue Marlin

Full Description

Tailored to H.E.R. performance

To achieve the dynamic punch of R&B, you need a guitar that can handle just about anything you throw at it. Which is why the H.E.R. signature Strat is packed with all the flawless functionality and scintillating style you'd expect. It's no surprise that H.E.R.'s dreamy guitar riffs and hypnotising ballads have taken the R&B scene by storm already, leading to her success in winning two Grammys and countless other awards. Not to mention her contribution to prestigious tours with Chris Brown and Childish Gambino. It goes without saying - she's an icon in her own right.

But, for an artist of such gigantic status, a best-in-class instrument is a must. And it doesn't get better than the Fender Stratocaster. Except this stunning signature model is no ordinary Strat. It fuses all the vintage versatility of the classic, with the modern enhancements required for that distinctive R&B edge. And it's topped off with a shimmering chrome glow finish and aluminium pickguard for a truly one-of-a-kind stage presence. This is the best-in-class. And in a class of its own.

Total tonal clarity

No one should have to compromise on their tone. And a trio of Vintage Noiseless Strat pickups ensure you don't have to. The clue's in the name. Eliminating the infamous 60-cycle hum out of your sound, these pickups kick out all the vintage single-coil tones you'd expect out of a classic Fender. But with more clarity than ever before, your lead playing will slash through the mix, while your chords maintain exceptional definition. So, you can showcase your talent, and be heard on stage.

Hailed as one of the most versatile instruments out there, the Strat has truly earned its iconic status. And the H.E.R. Strat maintains its flawless reputation, offering enough tonal capacity to satisfy any genre. A 5-way selector lets you alternate between snappy, twangy lead sounds and a more textured character. And with dual-tone knobs controlling the voice of the pickups, the power is truly with the player. It's your sound after all.

Terrific playing feel

Playability always makes up a huge part of any guitar. And Fender have gone all-out to ensure that the H.E.R. Strat provides a stunning playing experience. The neck fits comfortably into the palm of your hand - it's got a special, era-correct mid-'60's "C"-shaped profile. So you never need to worry about hand cramp. And the maple used for the neck, along with a satin urethane finish, is supremely smooth. This means your hand can glide smoothly up and down the scale. Great for fast-paced playing.

Fuel your performance with expression

It doesn't get more creative than using a whammy bar in performance. Hendrix used one in his Woodstock performance. Jeff Beck made it his own. And now, you can inject your performance with your own creative flair. Whether you're unleashing screeching dive bombs, giving your solo that extra kick, or simply decorating your chords with some elegant shimmer – the famed Strat tremolo system gives players an even bigger platform to experiment with their sound. A Strat wouldn't be a Strat without it. So, it goes without saying that the H.E.R. Strat features the iconic tremolo bridge design, for even more possibilities in your music making.

Includes a deluxe gig bag at no extra cost

Rock 'n' roll sound and style to take anywhere and everywhere. The Fender H.E.R. Stratocaster comes with a deluxe gig bag at no extra cost. Protecting your guitar from scratches and scrapes on the move, it'll make transporting your Strat from gig to gig simple.
