The Fender Stratocaster has long been considered among the finest guitars on the market. With a long and illustrious history, they are known for their superior tone and outstanding build quality and production. Indeed, the Fender Stratocaster has been the guitar of choice for some of the most celebrated musicians in the history of rock music. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Kurt Cobain are just a handful of the rock legends who frequently played with Stratocasters.
With Yves Saint Laurent representing for the world of fashion what Fender stands for with its instruments, their collaboration on the Fender x Saint Laurent Stratocaster is making waves in the music industry. Part of a series of collaborations between the two respective giants, this all-black electric guitar, constructed from wood and metal, is the flagship item in the collection. Designed with three single-coil pickups, a vintage synchronized tremolo, and black lipstick covers, the Fender x Saint Laurent Stratocaster features the iconic Saint Laurent logo underneath the bridge.
For guitarists with the cash to spare, completists can also invest in the Limited Edition Fender ’65 Deluxe Reverb x Saint Laurent Amplifier, along with a tin of six classic Fender 351 picks delivered in a collector’s tin.
