Fender unveils 16 Custom Shop guitars inspired by Hot Wheels cars
This is another one of those unexpected guitar collaborations you didn’t know you needed; Fender’s Custom Shop and Mattel’s Hot Wheels model cars. That equates to 16 super cool guitars and basses sporting Hot Wheels-inspired finishes and influence.
And we can’t afford any of them. Still, they’re fun to watch, aren’t they?
“Hot Wheels rides were as much a part of our team’s childhood as classic guitars, so having the opportunity to create unique instruments inspired by some of our favorite cars has been a dream,” said Dennis Galuszka, FCS Master Builder.
“Each builder brought their own take on the design process, which was influenced by years of childhood nostalgia and the iconic orange track,” adds Dennis. “The end results are works of art that pay homage to both Fender and Hot Wheels.”
