Fender has done numerous promo guitars for companies. Harley Davidson, Monster, Hello Kitty (cult classic), etc. So it does not surprise me. I had not seen the Playboy guitar before though and the material quality is above the norm for these types of guitars.
This is a new one on me as well; I only remember the final version of the Playboy 40th Anniversary model that had the Monroe nude centerfold drawing airbrushed across the body/pickguard.
I’m thinking that the guitar may exist, it may be the real thing but the ad’s a scam. I particularly like ‘son of larry’!
I know that posting a picture of that guitar here has never been a good idea. As for the guitar @Wrighty posted https://davesguitar.com/products/fender-custom-shop/pearl-works-prototype-playboy-strat-recent/
Photographs are the same or worse resolution. English is laughable. Location is Walthamstow. It's a scam.
Whatever! Real or not.... Can you believe something like that, built by the best craftsmen Fender have, still needs a shim on the neck? Why not get the pocket and neck right in the first place?
Does anyone else find it a bit weird that Fender would make a guitar which is basically a tribute to a porno mag?
Though I wouldn't have anything to do with it, no, it doesn't surprise me at all. It all comes down to the almighty $ and Playboy has been a huge moneymaker for decades.
Not at all. Playboy used to have a monthly circulation of 7 million; meaning it was a very mainstream publication.
