About Nile Rodgers

From Rodgers' original band Chic to David Bowie's 'Let's Dance' album, Nile's percussive funk guitar has been the core sound of many music genre's since the 70s. It's not just older styles of music either, this guitar featured on modern hits like Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' and Avicii's 'Lay Me Down'. The Hitmaker also became a defining sound in hip hop, largely thanks to newer artists sampling classic 70s funk tunes, such as in the Sugarhill Gang's massively influential 'Rapper's Delight'.

The Story of the Hitmaker

Nile picked up his original guitar on a trade-in at a music store in Miami beach and being a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix, opted to strip down and repaint his newest acquisition in the famous Olympic White finish. He added a chrome-plated brass scratchplate, allowing him to light up his audience by reflecting the stage lights back at them. He also got rid of the knurled Strat controls, putting speed knobs on to allow him quicker access for volume swells. He didn't know at the time that this instrument would go on to appear on so many hit records, but Nile believes that it's these modifications that give this guitar its distinctive tone.

Alder Body

The Alder body is one of our own, and has been accurately relic'd to mimic the exact look of Nile's road worn original. Compare it to any pictures of the original and trust us, you'll find it hard to tell the difference! We made sure that the relic was as close to the original as it could possibly be, and it was done by an local expert in relicing guitars, including the neck and all hardware.

Maple Neck

This licensed Fender neck features a maple neck and fretboard, mirroring the same setup Nile uses on his own guitar. It started life with a regular 'C' profile, but has been sanded down to a slim 'C' to match the style of neck on Nile's original. The slim profile ensures those 7th chords are easy to fret and rapid fire single string funk-lines feel effortless. Thanks to being hand rubbed down, the back of neck will feel instantly comfortable from the moment you pick it up, ready to slam dunk the funk.

Custom Shop '69 Pickups

Featuring a trio of Fender Custom Shop '69 Pickups, this guitar has the exact same voicing that has made its mark on so much of music history. Switch this guitar to the neck position and you'll instantly get that iconic Nile Rodgers tone, full of warmth yet punchy and articulate. Nile would frequently augment the core neck pickup sound on his records with the other positions, particularly the 'quack' of positions two and four on the pickup selector. This guitar isn't a one trick pony though, it's easily capable of everything from clean Jazz tones to gritty hard rock riffing.

Hardware

Unusually for a Strat-style guitar, the Hitmaker Tribute fields a hardtail bridge with six stamped steel saddles. The hardtail enhances sustain thanks to increased contact with body, allowing for easy action and intonation adjustments. At the other end of the guitar you have a set of Sperzel locking tuners, ensuring that no matter how hard you whip out the funk this guitar will stay perfectly in tune.

The Nile Rodgers Hitmaker is as true a tribute to one of music history's greatest guitars as you'll find anywhere, even those coming out of a certain Custom Shop. With no expense being spared in the construction of it, everything is period correct and spec'd exactly how Nile has his own guitar, making this your chance to get your hands on your own bit of music history. Best of all, it can be yours for a fraction of it's actual cost thanks to Northwest Guitars Competitions!

Warning, if you have two different thickness of monitors these may not work as intended.
The product seems very well made and the adhesive is very strong. These seem like they would work really well if you have two monitors of the same thickness, in my case I did not and they actually created more of a gap then without.

Pretty cheap but surprisingly solid
Color: Black
This thing comfortably fits my 16” MacBook Pro. It does tilt a bit probably due to me screwing it to the underside of my wooden desk which probably isn’t the exact use for it, but it holds really strong and isn’t going anywhere. Combining this with a small USB-C hub for some USB As and and extra HDMI and a little bit of Velcro, this holder makes for a pretty solid option to hide you laptop away if you a surprisingly clean desktop-like experience, even if you’re on a budget and can’t afford a desktop. A proper thunderbolt docking station would go a long way with this as well.

Works as advertised
Color: Black
Functions as described. Looks good. Laptop fits in loosely. I’d prefer a more snug fit. Other than that, works as advertised.

Genius solution for a cleaner, more organized desk
Color: Transparent, Color: Transparent
This mount completely transformed my workspace. I was looking for a way to get my laptop off my desk without buying a whole new piece of furniture, and this delivered. The clear design blends into any space so it doesn’t look clunky, and installation was easier than I expected. My laptop is secure and easily accessible, and I’ve freed up so much desk real estate. If you’re trying to create a cleaner, more minimal workspace, this is a great purchase. We did have to screw it in place because the sticky side came off after a few days, but I think it’s just the temperature fluctuations in my office.
