Leica and Fender have joined The Police guitarist and avid photographer Andy Summers to create a constrained version camera and guitar showcasing a number of the artist’s high-quality work.
The digital camera comes inside the form of an M Monochrom “Signature” model custom-wrapped in a leatherette college of Summers’ black-and-white pix. The otherwise black digicam is complemented through silver buttons, controls and dials while the topside of the body capabilities the guitarist’s autograph emblazoned in an eye-catching purple. Limited to just 50 units global, the set comes with a Leica Summicron-M f/2 35mm ASPH lens equipped with a antique lens hood, a guitar-strap-stimulated black leather digicam strap, and an Oberweth black leather camera bag highlighted with red stitching to complete the appearance.
Second inside the collaboration is a Fender Custom Shop Andy Summers Monochrome Stratocaster constructed through none aside from the emblem’s master builder Dennis Galuszka himself. Like the digital camera, the two-piece alder body of the guitar is wrapped with Summers’ monochrome photos taken along with his collection of Leica M cameras. The one-piece neck is made from rift-sawn maple and includes a “sixty three C” profile, featuring 21 medium-vintage frets and a bone nut. As an added touch, the fifteenth fret has been replaced with a purple Leica digicam dot inlay.
“After all these years of being captivated with photography and the guitar, I now have the 2 matters collectively for the first time,” said Summers.
The Leica M Monochrom “Signature” by way of Andy Summers is now available on leicacamerausa.Com, retailing for $15,000 USD, even as the Fender Andy Summers Monochrome Strat is available at pick Fender shops. Head over to the fendercustomshop.Com to learn extra now.
