What Innovation Has to Do With Revolution - Tom Morello and His "Arm The Homeless" Guitar!
As the creator of the sound of Rage Against the Machine, Tom Morello has already been inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. With monstrous guitar riffs and unorthodox technique he revolutionized a musical genre. His fully modified "Arm the Homeless" guitar is world-famous; he has played it for more than 35 years. With it he expresses an astonishing range of musical colors and emotions — from delicate jazz licks to sublime, mighty metal anthems, fueled by active electronics and a Gotoh double-locking tremolo.
The slogan and the smiling white hippos on the body are polarizing — intentionally so. The hand-painted details on the ice-blue metallic finish are a statement; they show Tom's attitude toward artistic revolution. Every element of this guitar, including the hockey-stick headstock, documents Tom Morello's unwavering devotion to music, his enthusiasm for innovation, and his commitment to positive social change.
Headstock
Provocative graphics, prominent "Arm the Homeless" lettering, the iconic "hockey-stick" headstock, flat C neck: this guitar is heavily modded, and every component reflects Morello's years of development with the aim of breaking boundaries and becoming maximally versatile.
Fingerboard
The flat 15" rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets plays wonderfully smooth and makes precise fretting easier.
Pickup
Powerful combo. The EMG H single-coil and EMG 85 pickups deliver crystal-clear tone with an aggressive high-output character.
