Fender Tom Morello "Arm the Homeless" Electric Guitar - Ice Blue Metallic

Few instruments blur the line between protest art and high-performance guitar like the Fender Tom Morello "Arm the Homeless" limited-edition electric guitar. Built to Tom’s exact specs and modeled after his most famous “Arm the Homeless” guitar, this signature model captures over 35 years of boundary-pushing tone—from the rallying anthems of Rage Against the Machine to the experimental fire of Audioslave and beyond. In a first for a Fender-built signature, there’s no Fender logo anywhere on the instrument, underscoring its outsider attitude and collectible appeal. A two-piece alder body in Blue Ice Metallic with hippo artwork and the original hand-scrawled slogan anchors the cultural story, while an active EMG 85/EMG H pickup set, a Gotoh-equipped trem system and hockey-stick headstock speak directly to high-gain, stage-ready performance. Designed for passion players, collectors and modern rock/metal guitarists alike, this is a premium, culturally charged axe built to make a statement every time you plug it in.

Classic Alder Body and Iconic "Arm the Homeless" Artwork

Crafted from alder and finished in a vivid Blue Ice Metallic, the body of this guitar is impossible to ignore—especially with its faithful recreation of Morello's original hippopotamus graphics and bold, hand-scrawled "Arm the Homeless" slogan emblazoned across its surface. The graphics are a powerful symbol of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist's commitment to activism and uncompromising individuality. Every contour reflects Fender's precision craftsmanship, while the gloss polyester finish enhances the artwork's depth and vibrancy under stage lights. Combined with alder's balanced tonal properties—clear highs, tight lows and present mids—this guitar is built to stand out visually and sonically, ensuring your performance is as striking to the eyes as it is to the ears.

C-Shaped Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard for Effortless Expression

A maple neck with a smooth gloss urethane finish and four-bolt construction delivers the familiar Fender feel with modern reliability. The comfortable C-shaped profile offers effortless playability for both rapid-fire leads and chord-heavy grooves. Paired with a rosewood fingerboard, the neck adds warmth and complexity to the alder body's punch, making it ideal for everything from clean, expressive passages to aggressive riffing. Medium-jumbo frets and white pearloid dot inlays give players the tools for precise leads and expressive bends, while the 25.5" scale length ensures snappy response and optimal string tension. Whether you're recreating Morello's unorthodox tapping runs or exploring your own tonal territory, the neck is a playground for creative hands.

Active EMG Electronics Deliver High-Output Clarity and Enhanced Sustain

Loaded with an EMG 85 humbucker in the bridge and EMG H single coil in the neck, this signature guitar harnesses active electronics to deliver the kind of clarity, punch and sustain that defined Morello's legendary tone. The bridge pickup offers high-output aggression with rich harmonic overtones, while the neck delivers smooth warmth and articulation. The unique control layout features individual volume knobs for each pickup and a shared master tone, putting nuanced sound-shaping power at your fingertips. A three-position toggle lets you seamlessly move from searing leads to full-bodied rhythms, or blend the two for dynamic tonal textures. These electronics give you the headroom and response to handle everything from delicate phrasing to feedback-drenched chaos.

High-Performance Hardware and Custom Styling

The "Arm the Homeless" guitar is equipped with a recessed Gotoh GE1996T double-locking tremolo system for radical pitch effects without compromising tuning stability—a must for dive bombs and Morello's trademark warbles. A Floyd Rose R7 locking nut further ensures rock-solid intonation under heavy trem use. Black hardware complements the guitar's rebellious aesthetic, while the absence of a pickguard keeps the focus squarely on the artwork. Deluxe cast/sealed locking tuners make restringing fast and secure. Each detail, from the hockey stick headstock to the uncut guitar strings and streamlined hardware layout, is a faithful nod to Morello's battle-tested original.
