Description

Tom Morello’s unique, powerful sounds – from gentle rhythms to screaming feedback, chaotic stutters, and more – require a very special Stratocaster®. The Tom Morello “Soul Power” Stratocaster – based on the modified Designer Series Strat used during his time in Audioslave – features an alder slab body with binding and a “Modern C”-shape maple neck with 9.5″-14″ compound radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets. Other features include a recessed Floyd Rose® locking tremolo system, Seymour Duncan Hot Rails bridge humbucker, two Fender® Noiseless™ pickups in the neck and middle positions, chrome pickguard, kill-switch toggle, locking tuners, matching painted headcap and iconic “Soul Power” body decal in the black Fender case.

FENDER VINTAGE NOISELESS PICKUPS
These popular pickups produce all the brilliant, dynamic tone of vintage single-coil Strat pickups – with no hum.

“SOUL POWER” DECAL
The Soul Power decal (included in case) can be user-applied to recreate the iconic look of the original guitar.

KILLSWITCH TOGGLE
The killswitch toggle – conveniently located on the lower bout – recreates the scratch and stutter effects famously used by Tom Morello.

SEYMOUR DUNCAN HOT RAILS HUMBUCKER
This single-coil sized humbucker delivers the punchy midrange and aggressive crunch perfect for rock and metal.

9.5”-14” COMPOUND RADIUS FINGERBOARD
Built for speed and easy bending, the 9.5”-14” compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut for easy chording, becoming increasingly flat as it nears the upper register for choke-free bends.

FLOYD ROSE TREMOLO
This model features a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo system which allows a range of vibrato effects – from subtle warble to wild dive bombs – and always stays in tune.

ABOUT FENDER
In 1950, Fender introduced the first mass-produced solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar, the Telecaster. Following its success, Fender created the first mass-produced electric bass, the Precision Bass (P-Bass). In 1954, Fender unveiled the Stratocaster (“Strat”) guitar. With the Telecaster and Precision Bass on the market for some time, Leo Fender was able to incorporate input from working musicians into the Stratocaster’s design. The Strat’s comfortable contoured edges and in-built vibrato system led to its soaring popularity. shop.fender.com
