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!

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

oh wow
Format: Kindle
I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!
