- Hey everyone.
This is Ariana Powell for Fender.
I'm really excited to introduce
the new Fender H.E.R Signature Stratocaster,
a backronym standing for having everything revealed.
She's a singer and player
who's been performing professionally
since she was a teenager,
wowing audiences with her virtuosic guitar playing
and soulful voice.
She wanted to create a guitar that was visually inspiring,
but also held up to her standards for playability and tone.
I think she did a great job because
this guitar looks incredible
and it sounds and feels great too.
So let's take a closer look at the guitar.
I want to run through some clean tones,
but before I do,
here's the setup we're using.
I have the guitar running into a few pedals
and then into the Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb.
Pedals are bypassed and a little reverb on the amp.
Let's hear it clean in all five positions.

And now let's take a look at the key features.
It's got an alder body
with this amazing chrome glow finish.
She loved the idea of the chrome finish.
She wanted it to make people feel like they had to touch it,
to see what it was made out of.
Hopefully you can see it change color,
when I move it around in the light.
The pickups are Vintage Noiseless Strat pickups.
The same pickups that were in the acrylic strats
she played at the Grammys.
It's a single coil tone without the 60 cycle hum.
So even if I add some gain, we can eliminate the hum.

It has a standard strat five way selector,
a master volume, and two tone controls,
one for the neck and middle and the other for the bridge.
It's got a beautiful anodized aluminum pickguard.
A 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo.
Up to the neck, it's a mid 60s C-shape maple neck.
It has a nine and a half inch fingerboard radius
and 21 vintage tall frets.
And of course the cool matching headstock.
Let's hear how it pairs with some overdrive
as well as some other effects.
