The Strat-wielding, chart-topper's singular instrument has helped sell millions of records. Here's its DNA story.
Since the early ’70s, the guitar legend has trusted his 1960 “Hitmaker” Strat to turn out chart toppers that have changed the course of music history and shaped cultures around the world. We explore its unusual origins and DNA as well as uncover some ordinary tools making extraordinary grooves.
Guitarist and producer Nile Rodgers has received virtually every significant honorific that exists for musical achievement. He’s a hall-of-famer twice over, having been inducted to both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He’s won six Grammys, including the prestigious Lifetime Achievement award.
The accolades hardly begin to capture how monumentally important and influential Rodgers’ music career has been. Since beginning with his disco-funk-rock fusion outfit Chic in 1972, Rodgers has been pioneering musical language that, among other things, sparked the advent of hip-hop. He’s also the producer who introduced the world to Stevie Ray Vaughan via Bowie’s “Let’s Dance.”
Rodgers invited John Bohlinger and the PG team to the Chic show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, where they met with his trusty tech Gert Marckx. Marckx took us through Rodgers’ streamlined touring rig, capped off with Rodgers’ holy grail guitar-the instrument that’s at least partially responsible for the sale of half a billion records around the world.

This one is behind so much hits !
I have the production model. it is fantastic. it is expensive but it's also limited in production and already rare as a hardtail.
the production model will be a sought after hardtail eventually. people rave when they play it and it is used in a studio already.
this guitar will be sought after by the collector and fender enthusiast of the future. it is that great of a guitar.
I can't believe they didn't mention that. It's one of the most significant things about Nile's baby - it's a _hardtail_ strat, as rare a sighting as bigfoot 😁
The Guitar!
Does anyone know what the pickups are? I've heard he swapped the originals but don't know what to
It has a push/pull mid scoop that John Suhr installed i think
Nile says that it's a 1959. Not 1960.
Looked like a 12 string in the tumbnail.
Yeah, the mirror pick guard threw me for a second, too.
Super chik
The lightweight Stratocasters where the best, if you have one dont give it away, because that was the biggest mistake in my life.
String-through bridge : no tremolo ! And no tremolo cavity
ace ventura forever
