Capcom teams up with Fender for this Monster Hunter-inspired Telecaster
Fender has teamed up with Capcom to create a Telecaster inspired by Monster Hunter: the Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster.
The guitar’s already listed in the UK store for £1850, which makes it one of Fender’s pricier iterations. There’s no option to pre-order just yet, although Fender says the instrument will be available from March 2025.
The guitar features the iconic Rathalos emblem, along with “guild marks subtly placed throughout the body and fretboard inlays”.
“The bold original body colour, tortoiseshell pickguard, and sleek black hardware echo the [Rathalos’] ferociousness, making this a truly unique instrument,” Fender says.
“We’re thrilled to bring this collaboration with world-leading guitar brand Fender to life in celebration of Monster Hunter’s 20th anniversary,” said Ryozo Tsujimoto, Monster Hunter series producer.
“The collaboration guitar features various elements that reflect Rathalos, one of the series’ iconic monsters, with details such as claw marks, inlays, and patterns on the body. Additionally, plans are underway for in-game collaborations with Monster Hunter Wilds, so please look forward to that as well.”
Japanese fans get a bonus limited edition model, too, called, confusingly, the Limited Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster. Pre-orders for that are now live, albeit restricted to Fender’s flagship Tokyo store and Fender Japan’s official online store. That version comes with a premium hard case, too.
