For acclaimed artist and songwriter Lindsay Ell, her Stratocaster guitar — affectionately nicknamed Snow White — is more than just a favorite instrument. “I feel like everything I wanna communicate through my hands, I can through this guitar,” she says.

Ell first picked up Snow White while on tour in Chicago, struck by its ease of play and its signature Arctic Pearl sparkle. "She sounded so great," Ell says. "I remember the first show I played with her — I felt like I was Superwoman." With noiseless pickups that reduce hum and a smooth, responsive neck, the guitar instantly became her best friend. “It just was, like, the energy I needed, I felt invigorated.” For more episodes of It Goes To 11, visit GRAMMY.com/videos.
