H.E.R debuts customized red Stratocaster guitar at surprise Big Game halftime performanceIf you saw the surprise guest performance at this weekend’s big game, you saw the ultimate reveal of H.E.R.’s customized red Stratocaster guitar. 

The guitar was made specifically for H.E.R.'s surprise halftime show performance at the big game with Usher and was designed with her style inspiration and performance needs in mind. The body and matching headstock include never-been-done before transparent paint with finish that replicates her chrome aesthetic.

“I imagined a chrome red, I love a good texture,” said H.E.R. “We also made the neck a little slimmer to make it easier for my solos, I wanted it to be effortless.”

In addition to the unique finish, the design behind the customized Stratocaster guitar also includes:

Chrome Glow H.E.R. Signature Strat body with transparent red paint over it, and matching headstock 

Anodized aluminum black pickguard 

Black Noiseless pickups with matching black knobs

Modern D shaped neck with satin finish 

Rosewood fretboard 

Modern vintage tuners

Artist visa fees for work in the US to increase in 2024, reaching over $1,000Visa costs for musicians and DJs who want to work in the USA are set to rise later this year, with both O and P visas set to jump to over $1,000.
Despite the higher prices, costs are actually lower than expected compared to proposals originally put forward in 2023. The rise in application costs will commence on 1 April 2024.

Back in January of 2023, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced plans to raise touring visa fees for international artists by more than 250 per cent.
This would have meant that applications for a P visa, which is temporary and for artists attending a specific event, would’ve increased from a rate of $460 to $1,615. The longer-term O work visa, which provides artists with a three-year stay, would’ve jumped from $460 to $1,655. Later that July, the decision was delayed following backlash from musicians.
Now, as RA reports, the longer-term O visa will jump from $460 to $1,055, an increase of 129 percent. The P visa will move from $460 to $1,015, a 121 percent jump.  This price hike is the first time artist visa costs have increased since 2016. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (UCIS) says these higher fees are needed “to cover the cost of doing business and avoid the accumulation of future backlogs.”
A 2022 study from Help Musicians showed that more than eight in ten professional musicians are worried about meeting mortgage or rent costs, nine in ten also say that their career is being impacted by poor mental health amid the cost of living crisis and financial barriers within the industry.
The Chemical Brothers also recently cited rising costs as the reason why they could not play shows in the US. “The costs have gone up so much,” Ed Simons said in September last year. “It’s just not really viable at the moment… I’m apologetic to the people who do want to see us that it is increasingly difficult for us to get to America, because we have had the times of our lives playing there.”
The DHS and the UCIS have opened a comment period until 6 March which allows citizens of the USA to send public feedback. Visit the UCIS website for further information on visa applications. You can also get mental health and career support via Help Musicians.
