"I distinctly remember my father teaching me how to play my first blues scale on a Fender mini black-and-white Stratocaster.

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.ā - H.E.R. on the Limited-Edition Strat
