Our Take:
With a sonic career like Tom Morello's, we had no doubt that the RatM and Audioslave lead guitarist's collaboration with Fender would be incredible - and we weren't disappointed! The Fender Tom Morello "Soul Power" Stratocaster is a new guitar based on the guitar Morello while playing with Audioslave, and is intended to give players a taste of what Tom was working with. The "Soul Power" Stratocaster uses familiar Fender designs - such as an alder body, and a compound radius neck with a rosewood fingerboard - and then spices it up, with a recessed Floyd Rose, HSS pickup configuration, kill switch, and plenty of other features to experiment with. Plus, it comes with its own "Soul Power" decal for you to place - wherever you want!
Fender's Take:
Tom Morello's unique, powerful sounds - from gentle rhythms to screaming feedback, chaotic stutters, and more - require a very special Stratocaster®. The Tom Morello “Soul Power” Stratocaster – based on the modified Designer Series Strat used during his time in Audioslave – features an alder slab body with binding and a "Modern C"-shape maple neck with 9.5"-14" compound radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets. Other features include a recessed Floyd Rose® locking tremolo system, Seymour Duncan Hot Rails bridge humbucker, two Fender® Noiseless™ pickups in the neck and middle positions, chrome pickguard, kill-switch toggle, locking tuners, matching painted headcap and iconic "Soul Power" body decal in the black Fender case.
