Open box! Fueling his groundbreaking work in Rage Against the Machine, Tom Morello’s hippo-adorned, politically charged custom 6-string has stood as his most iconic guitar for more than three decades. Now, the renegade style and era-defying sound of that iconic instrument can be yours with the Fender Tom Morello “Arm The Homeless” guitar. Tom originally acquired the guitar in the late 1980s, and he quickly set about modding and replacing just about every component on the guitar — a fact reflected in Fender’s re-creation with its scattershot specs, including a double-cut alder body and a painted maple neck wielding a Custom Flat C profile and an angular “hockey stick” headstock. Under the hood, you get an EMG 85 in the bridge with an EMG H in the neck to capture the exact sound of Tom’s legendary playing, whether you’re dishing out classic early-era Rage riffs, scratching a hex key across the strings, or lighting up the stage with Whammy-induced madness. Moreover, an expressive double-locking Gotoh tremolo with a Floyd Rose locking nut ensures rock-solid stability while you traverse the 15-inch rosewood fingerboard’s 22 jumbo frets. Lastly (and most importantly), this guitar’s juxtaposition of political rebellion and happy hippos set upon a serene Ice Blue Metallic canvas mirrors the same hand-drawn artwork of Tom’s original guitar.
