A Fusion of Italian Luxury and American Craftsmanship
This extraordinary collaboration celebrates both the 70th anniversary of the Stratocaster and the inventive spirit of Bvlgari, the illustrious Roman jewellery house founded in 1884. Bvlgari, known for its daring and innovative designs, has left an indelible mark on the world of luxury.
The guitar draws inspiration from the Bvlgari Aluminium GMT x Fender Watch, a timepiece that marries precision with elegance.
A Tribute to the "Golden Era" of Stratocasters
At the heart of the Bvlgari Stratocaster NOS is its vintage-inspired design, which pays homage to the "golden era" of Stratocasters from the mid-1950s. The guitar's body is crafted from 2-piece select ash with an off-centre seam, finished in a stunning Wide-Fade Chocolate 2-Colour Sunburst lacquer. This finish not only exudes timeless elegance but also captures the nostalgic essence of Fender's early masterpieces.
The quartersawn maple neck, shaped into a comfortable 07/54 Soft "V" profile, and the flat-laminated 3A rosewood fingerboard with vintage clay dot inlays, provide a perfect blend of playability and classic aesthetics. The Vintage Compound radius, transitioning from 7.25" to 9.5", ensures a smooth and effortless playing experience, making this guitar as enjoyable to play as it is to admire.
Modern Innovations with a Classic Feel
While the Limited Edition Bvlgari Stratocaster NOS embraces its vintage roots, it also incorporates modern innovations that enhance its performance and versatility. The guitar features Custom Shop Hand-Wound '54 Strat pickups, delivering the quintessential Stratocaster tone with added clarity and richness. The pickups are direct-mounted, providing a more resonant and responsive sound, while the uniquely shaped 1-ply parchment pickguard adds a modern twist to the guitar's classic design.
The Modern Stratocaster wiring and 5-way switch offer a range of tonal possibilities, from sparkling clean tones to gritty, overdriven sounds, making this guitar suitable for a wide variety of musical genres. The 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo, with bent steel saddles, allows for smooth vibrato effects, while maintaining tuning stability, thanks to the vintage-style tuning machines and bone nut.
A Collectable Masterpiece
Each Limited Edition Bvlgari Stratocaster NOS is meticulously crafted to the highest standards of quality and detail. The NOS (New Old Stock) lacquer finish, custom engraved Bvlgari neckplate, and deluxe hardshell case, complete with a strap and certificate of authenticity, further enhance the guitar's collectibility and investment value.
With only 70 pieces available worldwide, the Limited Edition Bvlgari Stratocaster NOS is destined to become a rare and treasured instrument. It is a guitar that not only embodies the rich heritage of Fender and Bvlgari but also stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of fine craftsmanship and innovative design.
