NAMM 2016: Fender shows off bejeweled Music Repeater Tele
Introduction
NAMM 2016: Fender Custom Shop has unveiled the Music Repeater Tele, a guitar inspired by Swiss watch-craft and inlaid with over 1000 diamonds, 38 sapphires and 325 pearls.
The guitar has been constructed by Custom Shop Master Builder Yuriy Shishkov, the same mad mind behind last year's Fabergé egg-inspired homage to ridiculous opulence, the Fender Custom Shop Pine Cone Stratocaster.
Whereas, sadly, the Pine Cone Stratocaster didn't come up with an actual antique Fabergé egg (which, if we're honest, put us right off buying one), we are pleased to report that the Repeater does come packaged with a 200 year old Swiss Repeater watch.
Here are some key (ridiculous) stats:
