Fender teams up with fashion brand Kith on a super stylish Stratocaster
Fender has partnered with fashion and lifestyle brand Kith on a Kith Records Limited Player Stratocaster, with a stylish green checkerboard design.
This isn’t the first time Fender has teamed up with a fashion brand for an instrument collaboration, in fact a number of other brands have also launched collaborations with fashion companies over the years. This particular model has been designed to commemorate Kith’s 15th anniversary and Fender’s 80th.

The Kith Records Limited Player Stratocaster reimagines Fender’s Limited Player Stratocaster and is finished in custom Stadium green with a checkerboard pattern and gloss finish. It has an alder body along with a rosewood fretboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets.
It’s fitted with Player Series Alnico V Single-Coil Strat pickups, and its five-way blade switch “covers the full tonal spectrum”. A two-point tremolo and ClassicGear tuners complete the model. As an extra fashionable touch, the guitar’s pick guard also features a Kith logo redesigned in Fender’s famous typography.
The model will be available to pre-order this Friday 1 May, exclusively for US customers on the Kith website and the Kith App. There is currently no information available on price. Check out the guitar below:

Fender’s other fashion ventures include a 2023 collaboration with Wrangler, for which the Big F released a range of denim guitar cases and straps. Prior to this, the two brands also teamed up in spring of 2022, introducing a range of Fender-inspired clothing which aimed to bridge the gap between music and fashion.
Fender has also partnered with high-end fashion label Yves Saint Laurent and even streetwear brand Supreme in the past. Just last year, Gibson partnered with Marc Jacobs on a series of Les Pauls complete with custom artwork, straps and even pick tins.
The Kith Records Limited Player Stratocaster will launch on 1 May at 11am EST. To find out more, head over to Kith.com.
