Nita Strauss at Sofi Stadium 8/22.
Alice Cooper guitarist and solo artist Nita Strauss became the first person ever to play live guitar at the new SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles this past Saturday (August, 22.) Playing an instrumental version of Queen’s “We Will Rock You”, the approximately one minute tweet shows Nita jamming to the drumbeat of the song on her new signature JIVAJR model guitar.
According to Ibanez’ website, the guitar features: “A visually arresting quilted maple top rests upon a resonant meranti body, while an ebony-capped maple neck ensures effortless playability. For sonic tenacity, you get two Quantum humbuckers and one Quantum single-coil pickup complete with 5-way switching. Topped off with an Edge-Zero II tremolo and an eye-grabbing Beaten Path EKG-style fingerboard inlay, the JIVAJR Nita Strauss Signature will pummel every note you play into meek submission — it’s a serious sonic weapon.”
You can watch Nita jam out to the song below:
