Steve Lacy, a Grammy-winning R&B star and Gen-Z guitar legend, has wowed the music world with his distinct guitar skills, great songwriting, and innovative production. His catchy hooks, creative style, and smart harmonies shine in his work with The Internet, his boundary - pushing solo albums, and collaborations with big names like J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar. And he often creates magic with just a smartphone and his Fender Stratocaster®.
The Steve Lacy People Pleaser Stratocaster is a real gem. It has an alder body with a subtly eye - catching Chaos Burst finish. Equipped with Player Plus Noiseless™ single - coil pickups and a custom Steve Lacy Chaos Fuzz circuit, it can produce a wide range of amazing tones. The guitar features a modern deep “C” neck with a 9.5” radius maple fingerboard and narrow - tall frets for easy playing. Steve's personal touch is everywhere, from the custom double dice inlay at the 12th fret to the neck plate with his original art, the funky green/blue checker - patterned back plate, and the vintage - style hardshell case with a fuzzy green interior. This guitar can match Steve's unique style and his endless sonic exploration.

Using this guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the Fender® Vintage - Style tuning machines. Once it's in tune, you can start strumming and exploring the different tones it offers. The Player Plus Noiseless™ pickups and the custom Steve Lacy Chaos Fuzz circuit let you create a huge variety of sounds, from soft melodies to hard - hitting riffs.
When playing, hold the modern deep “C” neck comfortably. The 9.5” radius maple fingerboard and narrow - tall frets make it easy to move your fingers up and down the neck. You can also use the 6 - Saddle Vintage - Style Synchronized Tremolo bridge to add some cool vibrato effects.
As for maintenance, keep it in the vintage - style hardshell case when you're not using it. This will protect it from dust and damage. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth after each use to keep them clean and prevent rust. Every few months, you can clean the body with a guitar - specific cleaner to maintain its gloss finish. And if you notice the strings are getting old or out of tune easily, replace them with Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel strings. Just remember, treat this guitar well, and it'll keep making great music for you.
