Palace Skateboards and Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) announced on Monday, "a brand new collaboration that will feature a limited-edition Telecaster®, as well as a range of co-branded picks and straps to supplement the guitar."
"This first of its kind tie-up marks a significant milestone for both Fender® and Palace, representing a true fusion of two forward-thinking brands - uniting Fender’s legacy of meticulous craftsmanship and innovation, which has defined music for generations, with Palace’s renowned, often irreverent, and always influential energy in contemporary fashion and skate culture," a statement reads.
"When it comes to the Telecaster®, the guitar features a 90s-inspired rave graphic across the front and a Palace Triferg on the back, a branded guitar strap and matching pick complete the look. The artwork nods to classic flyer culture, grid-like high-energy patterns set against the Telecaster® silhouette and finished under a durable clear coat."
"Everything about the neck is built for speed and comfort: a Modern “C” profile with a silky satin urethane back, a 9.5"-radius slab, maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges, and 22 medium-jumbo frets for fast, fluid playability. Under the hood, Player Series Alnico V Single-Coil Tele® pickups deliver crystalline highs, musical mids, and tight lows across genres. A 3-way blade switch moves from smooth neck-pickup chime to cutting bridge-pickup twang and everything in between, while a 6-saddle bridge, block steel saddles and ClassicGear™ tuners lock in tuning and intonation for confident stage or studio work."
The Palace Fender Telecaster®, along with the custom picks and straps, will be available exclusively at Palace stores globally and palaceskateboards.com
