Fender Stratocaster

Nick Jonas relies on the Fender Stratocaster's bright, articulate single-coils to cut through pop arrangements with clean rhythm work and effect-laden leads. The stock setup's natural clarity pairs perfectly with his space-heavy reverb and delay textures, avoiding muddiness in dense vocal-forward mixes.
