Tom Morello

Lot 35. Tom Morello’s Signature “Soul Power” Stratocaster.

Tom Morello’s signed Signature Soul Power Fender Stratocaster. Inspired by the modified Designer Series Strat the contemporary guitar legend used on the Audioslave albums, the Soul Power Strat consists of an alder slab body with binding and a c-shape maple neck with a 9.5”-14” compound radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets.

Equipped with a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails bridge humbucker and a pair of Fender Noiseless pickups in the neck and middle positions, the guitar features a recessed Floyd Rose locking tremolo system (bar included), locking tuners, a chrome pick guard, and a kill-switch toggle on the lower bout for Morello’s signature scratch and stutter effects.

Manufactured in 2020, the serial number “MX20053262” is printed on the back of the headstock. In silver ink, Morello has hand-written “Soul Power” across the body in the manner seen on his iconic original instrument and signed his name below the bridge.

Morello played this model of guitar on his latest album, 2021’s The Atlas Underground Fire. The chrome pickguard retains the original plastic cling and the guitar exhibits minimal wear. A Fender hard shell case is included.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Dave Matthews became a naturalized American citizen in 1980. His family moved frequently during his childhood, spending time in the U.S. and England, in addition to South Africa. Dave and his family moved to Charlottesville, Virginia in 1986 where he formed Dave Matthews Band in 1991.

Dave Matthews Band’s infectious and distinctive sound garnered lots of early attention and a die-hard loyal fan base, catapulting the band into one of the most successful touring acts of the past two decades.

Their latest studio release, Come Tomorrow, bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making Dave Matthews Band the first group in chart history to have seven consecutive studio albums debut atop the chart.

The band’s Bama Works Fund, along with Matthews’ Horton Foundation, have raised more than $65 million dollars for a wide variety of humanitarian and environmental initiatives.
