“The ‘Arm the Homeless’ guitar has been my comrade for life in the sonic sphere. It allowed me to find myself as an artist”: Tom Morello’s favourite electric has just been recreated by Fender

Fender has made an exacting replica of Tom Morello's 'Arm The Homeless' guitar, the mongrel S-style made from parts that became the cornerstone of the Rage Against The Machine guitarist's sound.

Fender and Tom Morello have teamed up to create a replica of his ‘Arm the Homeless’ electric guitar, the DIY S-style on which the Rage Against The Machine guitarist found his sound.

We nearly caught ourselves calling this signature guitar a signature Stratocaster – it has the solid alder double-cutaway Strat body – but it’s really quite a different guitar.
