Sonia Sturino

The current listing for the "Fender Stratocaster - Gold Sparkle" is incorrect and should be removed. Sonia Sturino's actual guitar is a "Fender FSR Standard Stratocaster HSS Sunfire Orange Flake," which I purchased from her in 2018.

Sonia Sturino of Weakened Friends frequently performs with a Fender Standard Strat Arctic White with Rosewood Fretboard, as seen in an Instagram post promoting their Philadelphia show. The guitar features unknown custom pickups.

This guitar and a black Precision bass were sent to Weakened Friends by Fender.

When asked about what effects where used on Weakend Friends' album Common Blah: "Mostly went between my walrus audio harvester and an old univox super fuzz. Which are mostly what I use in general!"

Sonia owned this guitar from some time in 2016 to spring of 2018, when it was sold to a friend.

Sonia Sturino confirmed her use of the EarthQuaker Devices Bit Commander pedal during a 2024 live performance by Weakened Friends at the Turf Club in Saint Paul, MN. She mentioned this directly at the merch table when asked about the pedal creating a synthesizer-like sound for her guitar. The pedal's effect is prominently featured in the song "Peel," and can be heard starting at 0:15 in the YouTube video titled "Peel," provided by Redeye Worldwide and auto-generated by YouTube.

In the YouTube video titled "Weakened Friends - The Fest That Never Was (Full Set)," a livestreamed performance originally aired on October 31st and November 1st, 2020, the Electro-Harmonix EH-7700 Polychorus can be clearly seen on Sonia Sturino's pedalboard.

It is a vintage 1970s unit that Sonia obtained in 2019.
