Nikki Stringfield is a great guitarist with some very impressive credits already to her name and an undoubtedly exciting musical future to come. As one part of the guitar duo in The Iron Maidens, Nikki shreds on Maiden classics all around the world. She also plays in the reactivated Femme Fatale and makes her own music, and Nikki has just been honored with her first signature guitar, the Schecter Nikki Stringfield A-6 FR S. We thought it was time we caught up to talk about the new guitar, her background as a player and her tips for making it in the industry.
What specs did you require for your signature guitar?
I wanted an edgier look so I had to go with the Avenger body shape. One of the major requirements for me was the ultra thin neck since I have pretty small hands, along with the satin finish on the back which really gives you the ability to shred! I also had to have a Seymour Duncan pickup along with the Sustainiac.. it’s such a fun thing to have in your guitar, especially when you’re recording. Also the Floyd Rose was a huge must have so we went with the new Floyd Rose 1500 series.
