Fender reveals the Lexus LC Stratocaster guitar

Fender, manufacturer of musical instruments, has announced the launch of a limited edition Fender Lexus LC Stratocaster guitar.

The Stratocaster guitar comes in an omnidirectional Structural Blue finish, the same paint that was used on the Lexus LC500 coupe and convertible Inspiration Series. The paint is said to not contain any actual blue material, but instead gets its colour from the structure formed from its layers of colorless materials, hence the 'structural' name.

The neck of the guitar meanwhile, is fashioned from flame maple and finished in high-gloss urethane, imparting a hint of Fender woodworking tradition in contrast with the instrument’s other advanced visual elements. The fingerboard is made of deep-blue polished Richlite, a composite material known for its tonal properties, structural stability and resistance to wear and moisture, and used by the Fender Custom Shop for the first time.

Just 100 examples of the Fender Lexus LC Stratocaster guitar will be built globally.
