Fender and Saint Laurent join forces in a harmonious collaboration, unveiling a special co-branded collection that sets the stage for style and sound. This exclusive lineup features a limited-edition Stratocaster guitar, the ’65 Deluxe Reverb Fender x Saint Laurent Amplifier, and a set of Celluloid Picks. Prepare to rock in ultimate fashion!
As the iconic YSL label was established in Paris in 1961, Fender was hitting its stride during its legendary “Golden Era,” expanding its range of guitars, basses, amplifiers, and accessories. Now, Saint Laurent Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello skillfully combines Fender’s craftsmanship with the soul of Saint Laurent’s signature style in this captivating series.
Justin Norvell, Executive Vice President FMIC Product, expressed his admiration for the esteemed luxury brand, stating, “Saint Laurent is one of the most celebrated luxury brands in the world and an influential powerhouse in fashion culture. We are honored to partner with them to infuse iconic elements from both of our legacy roots in this beautiful ‘Limited Edition Saint Laurent’ collection.”
The spotlight shines on the gloss-black urethane Stratocaster guitar, adorned with an alder body and a maple ’60s Oval “C”-shaped neck. The flat-laminated ebony fingerboard with sterling silver dot inlays adds a touch of elegance. Sporting a contemporary twist, the 1-ply phenolic pickguard houses hand-wound ’60s Stratocaster pickups in black lipstick covers, delivering that unmistakable Fender tone.
Now, let’s turn up the volume with the ’65 Deluxe Reverb Fender x Saint Laurent Amplifier. This timeless classic showcases a mid-’60s style that has won the hearts of rock, blues, and country players worldwide. Complete with black grille cloth, upgraded covers, and YSL logo embellishments, it’s a feast for the eyes and ears.
To round out the collection, custom Celluloid Picks take center stage, offering versatility for any playing style. With the classic 351 shape and a comfortable grip, these picks come in black, white, and checkered patterns. And where do you store these precious picks? Fear not! They come nestled in a co-branded collector’s tin, adding an extra touch of sophistication.
Now, here’s the catch—only 10 guitars have been crafted worldwide, and they’re exclusively available at SLRD stores in Paris and Los Angeles. But fear not, my fellow music enthusiasts, as additional guitars can be made upon request. So get ready to channel your inner rockstar with this exclusive Fender x Saint Laurent collection.
