March 19, 2008Ford and Fender Release Limited Edition GuitarPress release
The initial Ford Shelby GT500KR Strat® guitar (serial number 000) was highlighted at the weeklong Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event in Scottsdale this past January when it was paired with a limited edition 40th Anniversary Ford Shelby GT500KR “King of the Road” Mustang coupe raising $550,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The Ford Shelby GT500KR Stratocaster guitar, which is limited to 100 pieces worldwide, features the unmistakable Cobra logo, Shelby hood stripes and a hand-painted “GT500KR” body graphic, as well as a replica of Carroll Shelby’s autograph. The guitar’s neck has a “Powered by Ford” custom graphic on the back, and the fingerboard has “GT500KR” and “Shelby” mother of pearl inlays at the 7th and 12th frets. The guitar’s hardshell case is custom-embroidered with Ford and Shelby graphics. “The Fender relationship is a natural fit; Ford and Fender customers are equally passionate about their cars and guitars,” said Robert Parker, Ford Car Marketing Manager. “Fender is ecstatic that we were able to help Ford raise more than half a million dollars for charity at Barrett-Jackson,” said Brian Tedeschi, Fender Musical Instruments Corp. business affairs manager. “We look forward to spreading even more of that same spirit of rock ‘n’ roll with the release of the Ford Shelby GT500KR Stratocaster guitar.” The limited edition Ford Shelby GT500KR Stratocaster guitar is available for $5,600 at www.fordcollection.com.
