Guitar

Fender Stratocaster

Mendes uses his white Stratocaster for electric performances, leveraging its bright single-coil pickups to cut through pop production with crisp articulation. The versatile design supports both clean textures and mild overdrive tones that sit perfectly upfront in his vocal-driven arrangements.

The Telecaster's snappy single-coil character delivers the punchy, defined rhythm tones Mendes needs for songs like 'There's Nothing Holding Me Back.' Its natural brightness pairs with his minimal pedal approach, keeping his guitar parts transparent and radio-friendly.

Mendes pairs the Twin Reverb's pristine, headroom-rich clean tone with transparent effects to maintain clarity in dense pop mixes. The amp's built-in reverb adds subtle ambient textures without coloring his core sound.

Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9

Mendes uses the Tube Screamer for light, musical overdrive that adds grit to rhythm parts without sacrificing definition. This warm, non-saturated breakup aligns with his philosophy of letting clarity and the vocal remain the focal point.
