What is the Seven-String Hallikset Guitar in Fortnite Festival?

The Seven-String Hallikset is a guitar skin you can use in Fortnite Festival when playing the Lead role. Like any cosmetic in the game, it has no effect on gameplay.

In the Star Wars universe, this guitar is known for being the instrument Cal Kestis plays using psychometry in 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It’s also the instrument the Shag Kava band uses to perform “Jabba Flow” in The Force Awakens. Despite this, it doesn’t appear to be part of “Cantina Band,” the song released in Fortnite Festival along with today’s update.

The shape and sound of the instrument are similar to a banjo, though it’s unclear which instrument was used in real life to record its sound.

Once you unlock the Seven-String Hallikset, it’s yours to keep. You can use it in Festival or other Fortnite modes that let you play Jam Tracks.
