Hard-tail string-through bridge
Strings pass through the body and terminate at six period-correct bent-steel saddles.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around a smaller, more contoured 1960s-style alder body, the Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster pairs its hard-tail, string-through bridge with three purpose-voiced Hitmaker single-coil pickups. The maple neck has a custom ’59 profile, satin finish, 9.5-inch radius, and medium-jumbo frets. Mirrored chrome-plated brass pickguard, locking Sperzel tuners, white speed knobs, and the Nile Rodgers & Chic headstock logo give it a clearly defined Hitmaker presentation.
