As the mastermind behind Rage Against the Machine’s earth-shaking sound, Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer Tom Morello didn’t just play guitar — he redefined it. His riffs and radical techniques tore up the rulebook, and at the heart of it all was one instrument: the legendary “Arm the Homeless” guitar.

For over 35 years, this heavily modified axe has been Morello’s go-to. Thanks to its active electronics and double-locking tremolo, “Arm The Homeless” has been used for everything from smooth jazz runs to ferocious riffs and wild pitch-shifting solos. And now, Fender has recreated this guitar in stunning detail — so you can become a renegade of funk just like Morello!

Iconic “Arm the Homeless” artwork

The finish is pure attitude. You get a striking Blue Ice Metallic backdrop adorned with the provocative “Arm The Homeless” slogan and Tom’s own hand-drawn hippopotamus design — embodying his revolutionary spirit. And with the release of the “Arm the Homeless” guitar, Morello and Fender have pledged donations to support organisations fighting homelessness.

Custom EMG pickup config

Featuring an EMG H single-coil (in a humbucker casing) at the neck and an EMG 85 ‘bucker at the bridge, you’ve got everything you need to cut through the mix with clear, hard-hitting tone. Whether you’re laying down delicate melodies or unleashing punchy single-note riffs and power chords, they’re versatile enough to help you hop seamlessly between genres.

Key Features

• Flat “C” Maple neck with “Hockey Stick” headstock: The custom neck profile feels fast and comfortable, while the instantly recognisable headstock shape adds that unmistakable Morello vibe.
• 15″ Rosewood fingerboard with medium jumbo frets: Whether you’re bending notes or shredding riffs, this setup makes everything feel fluid and under control.
• Active EMG pickups: The EMG H neck single-coil and EMG 85 bridge humbucker combo allows you to let loose with powerful, crystal-clear tone.
• 3-way pickup selector switch: Want to replicate Morello’s stuttering “killswitch” effect? Just roll down the volume on one of the pickups and rapidly toggle this switch for those crazy, chopped-up DJ sounds.
• Gotoh double-locking tremolo: This stage-ready system keeps your tuning super solid — no matter how far you push it with divebombs, flutters and wild whammy bar tricks.
• Deluxe black hardshell case included: Because a guitar this iconic deserves proper protection! Keep it safe and sound wherever you go.
