The Leica x Fender camera and guitar set have been released as a limited-edition creation for guitarist Andy Summers that highlights the musicians most iconic photography in an unexpected way.
The guitar is a Custom Shop Stratocaster, while the camera is an M Monochrom, which have both been covered in various shots captured by the aforementioned musician in a collage-like way. Each of the items are limited to just 50 examples with the guitar priced at $12,500 and the camera at $14,995.
The Leica x Fender camera and guitar set were boasted by Summers who said, "I’ve always thought of my photographic experience as tearing pages from a book and then reshuffling the results into a new visual syntax, and the collage-forward design of the Leica M Monochrom ‘Signature’ is the physical embodiment of just that...This Stratocaster guitar is also very inspiring. The really incredible thing the Fender Custom Shop had to pull off was getting my photo collage on the guitar body. I still don’t know how they did it!"
