Fender Musical Instruments Corp. and children’s musical instrument brand Loog are collaborating to celebrate 75 years of Fender’s iconic Telecaster and Precision Bass guitars. The pair unveiled two additions to the Fender x Loog collection: the Fender x Loog Precision Bass and the Fender x Loog Telecaster in a butterscotch blonde finish. These join the existing collection that includes the Fender x Loog Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars. Each combines Fender’s style with Loog’s learning system that makes learning music fun and approachable for kids and beginners.
The Fender x Loog Precision Bass celebrates the original 1951 Fender Precision Bass, deemed the world’s first mass-produced electric bass guitar, and marks Loog’s first step into the world of bass. Featuring three strings, a compact short scale, and one pickup, it’s designed to feel comfortable in small hands while providing the authentic experience of playing a real bass guitar.
The Butterscotch Blonde Fender x Loog Telecaster bows to the original Telecaster guitar introduced 75 years ago. Its Butterscotch Blonde finish and black pickguard evoke one of the most recognizable guitars in music history, while Loog’s compact, three-string format makes it easy for children to begin playing chords and songs.
Both instruments sport an authentic Fender headstock, Loog’s three-string fretboard, and a standard ¼-inch output jack. Each instrument also includes access to the Loog Guitar app that provides video lessons and game-like exercises, as well as a Fender-inspired activity book.
The Fender x Loog Precision Bass is available now in a White Blonde finish, as well as Candy Apple Red, Sea Foam Green, and a limited-edition Hello Kitty Black. US MSRP is $229.99. And the Fender x Loog Telecaster is available now in the classic Butterscotch Blonde finish with a black pickguard. US MSRP is $229.99.
