The LIMITED WASTED YOUTH TELECASTER® covers the traditional 60’s TELECASTER® CUSTOM’s body in a striking allover logo print, featuring Wasted Youth x Budweiser’s collaborative branding. An engraved neckplate rounds out the distinguished design, with the guitar housed in a hand-stenciled hard case. Equipped with two Vintage-Style Single-Coil Tele® pickups, sound quality is unmatched. A complimentary co-branded tee and a range of guitar picks also come with it.

As for the LIMITED WASTED YOUTH MUSTANG® BASS, the model takes a captivating, sparkling blue hue, with the Wasted Youth logo stamped up top. Also polished off with an engraved neckplate and VERDY-curated casing, VERDY drew from his own experiences with the tactical, transportable MUSTANG BASS to inform the design. With the Vintage-Style Split Single-Coil Mustang Bass®, crisp sound quality is ensured.

Both models run for ¥ 385,000 yen – or roughly $2,705 USD. Take a closer look in the gallery above, and visit Fender’s website for each instrument’s full detailing.
