Fender unveils a Blue Marlin finish for the historic H.E.R. Signature Stratocaster guitar—a launch that established H.E.R. as the first Black female signature artist in Fender’s 77-year history.
The guitar features personalized cutting edge specs that five-time Grammy winner H.E.R. prefers in a Stratocaster with the body boasting the striking debut colorway that emulates the brilliant blue of a marlin, complete with an iridescent finish that shifts in the light. With only 300 units made world-wide, this guitar is a true, special limited edition.
"I distinctly remember my father teaching me how to play my first blues scale on a Fender mini black-and-white Stratocaster. 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.” - H.E.R. on the Limited-Edition Strat
