Fender And Capcom Team Up For $2,000 Monster Hunter Guitar
Capcom is no stranger to ultra-expensive promotional merchandise for its games, and in its latest move, the publisher has joined forces with Fender to create a very flashy guitar. The Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster arrives next year, and it's sure to turn some heads.
Retailing on Fender's website for $2,000, the Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster was created to celebrate the franchise's 20-year anniversary. The guitar was designed to evoke the "magestic presence" of Rathalos, both on the body and on the rosewood fretboard. It also comes with a (faux) tortoiseshell pickguard, even as we all continue to argue about whether dinosaurs were more like reptiles or birds.
The guitar's other features are mostly in line with a Fender Telecaster Custom. These include a humbucker in the neck position and a single-coil pickup in the bridge. The nut is also made of bone, though we're guessing it's not made from a monster you can hunt in the video game. The neckplate features a commemorative 20th-anniversary logo, and just like the games, the guitar is made in Japan. This is a rarity among Fenders, which are typically made in either California or Mexico.
