Fender’s new H.E.R. guitar is gorgeous

Fender has just announced a new limited-edition H.E.R. signature model featuring an utterly gorgeous Blue Marlin finish with matching headstock. It’s such a beautiful guitar for a very well-deserving player.

The guitar features the personalized cutting edge specs H.E.R. prefers in a Stratocaster, while the Blue Marlin colour way, right down to the iridescence that shifts with the light, as a tribute to her father Kenny, who would take her on fishing trips growing up. You can see a great conversation with H.E.R. and her father here:

“I distinctly remember my father teaching me how to play my first blues scale on a Fender mini black-and-white Stratocaster,” H.E.R. says. “Filming this interview with him, reflecting on my musical journey, and the development of my second signature Fender guitar has been a surreal ‘pinch me’ moment. I designed my Limited Edition Stratocaster guitar with a color, shape and sound that is 100% my own so that young women and players from all backgrounds feel inspired to pick up this guitar, tap into their thoughts and create amazing music.”

Also a reminder: Fans of H.E.R. can also learn to play their favorite songs on the Fender Play App, including her hits like Could’ve Been, Every Kind of Way, This Way, and more. Under H.E.R.’s Artist Spotlight, users can learn over 7 songs and 3 skills to play more like the 5-time grammy winner. 

Guitar specs include:

Blue Marlin iridescent finish: a tribute to her father Kenny, who would take H.E.R. on fishing trips growing up 

One-piece Maple Neck with mid-’60s “C” shape: Perfect for all players, new and experienced, that allows for fretting and bending with ease.

9.5” Radius, 21 Vintage-tall Frets: Easily allows for classic Fender tone and effort-less bending.

Fender Vintage Noiseless Stratocaster pickups: a necessary feature for H.E.R. that allows clear and articulate tone with no 60-cycle hum and a six-screw.

A custom neck plate engraved with H.E.R. artwork: Small but personalized touch for a signature guitar making it a fit for any player at any occasion
