“Saint Laurent is one of the most celebrated luxury brands in the world and an influential powerhouse in fashion culture,” states Justin Norvell, Executive Vice President of FMIC.
“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.”
In an attempt to increase its level of cross-industry collaboration, Fender has partnered with French luxury fashion house Saint Laurent and together create a range of new guitar gear that comprises a limited-edition Stratocaster and an amplifier.
The Fender x Saint Laurent Stratocaster is a true limited-edition piece with only 10 guitars being available worldwide.
Regarding the ’65 Deluxe Reverb Amplifier, it is considered one of Fender’s timeless classics that appeared in a mid-’60s style prized by rock, blues, and country players globally. Its details include black grille cloth, upgraded covers, and the YSL logo.
The collaboration also includes six Celluloid Picks for any playing style or technique, featuring Fender’s classic 351 shapes for an easy grip.
The pictures come black, white, and checkered, and fit into a co-branded collector’s tin.
