The Hitmaker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Hitmaker.
Nile Rodgers playing The Hitmaker at Coachella, 2018

The Hitmaker is the Fender Stratocaster owned by American guitarist Nile Rodgers. The guitar is a white 1960s model (sometimes incorrectly identified as a 1959 model[1]) with a hardtail bridge,[1] which has been retrofitted with a 1959 maple neck.[2]

Rodgers got the guitar in a shop in Miami Beach, Florida;[3] at the time, fellow Chic-member and bassist Bernard Edwards suggested he trade in the Gibson he was playing because Rodgers was shifting genres. The Stratocaster was "pivotal" in the development of the funky style that came to be called "chucking".[2]
