Fender Custom Shop Yuriy Shishkov Masterbuilt Late 1960 Stratocaster Relic, Mercedes Blue

Bvlgari was founded in Rome's vibrant heart in 1884. Renowned as the embodiment of Roman High jewellery and emblematic of the quintessential Italian art de vivre, the brand's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, inventive design, and bold colour palettes has established it as the pinnacle of luxury. The Maison’s innovative spirit shines in its Swiss-engineered timepieces that marry precision and elegance, and its blend of heritage and modernity is epitomised in the Bvlgari Aluminium watch, first introduced in 1998 - striking in its use of unconventional materials, it combines aluminium and rubber, challenging traditional watchmaking norms with its audacious Italian touch.

The Limited Edition Bvlgari Stratocaster® celebrates the 70th anniversary of the instrument by artfully embracing the inventive yet nostalgic design approach showcased on the limited-run Bvlgari Aluminium GMT x Fender Watch. From the quintessential mid-‘50s Wide-Fade Chocolate 2-Colour Sunburst lacquer finish to the quartersawn maple neck and flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard, this guitar highlights some of the most sought-after and notable “golden era” Strat® features. The direct-mounted Custom Shop Hand-Wound ’54 Strat® pickups and uniquely shaped 1-ply parchment pickguard provide more modern-facing designs—mirroring the essence of Bvlgari’s watch collaboration, evoking a sense of refreshing new aesthetics with a timeless look and feel.
