If you’re psyched about the final season of Game of Thrones (and have a cool 25 grand or so laying around), you can keep your love of Westeros going with one of Fender’s new master built guitars from the company’s Game of Thrones Sigil collection.
Produced in conjunction with HBO Licensing & Retail, the trio of deluxe, one of a kind models represent three fan-favorite houses the Game of Thrones House Stark Telecaster, House Lannister Jaguar and the House Targaryen Stratocaster.
All three models were handcrafted by Principal Master Builder Ron Thorn, and according to Fender, each guitar’s design drew inspiration from the house’s family sigil, costume designs, armor and weaponry, as well as each of their locations in Westeros. Each model also comes with a bespoke guitar case that reflects the ethos of the instrument with ornate attention to detail.
Game of Thrones House Stark Telecaster ($25,000)
The House Stark Telecaster guitar features a lightweight swamp ash body, weathered with inlaid sterling silver purfling that reflects the broodiness of Winterfell’s landscape. The guitar features a maple neck with an ebony fingerboard, a hand-cut and engraved sterling silver Dire Wolf sigil inlay on the first fret and an embossed nickel silver version on the pickguard. The Tele also features hand-engraved knobs, an etched neck plate and is finished with thin lacquer over custom paints, including “Raven Black” & “Gray Wolf”.
Game of Thrones House Lannister Jaguar ($30,000)
The House Lannister Jaguar features a lightweight alder body with a 24k Gold leaf with heraldry design on both the front and back, paying homage to the opulent Red Keep in King’s Landing. The guitar has a maple neck with an ebony fingerboard, a hand-cut and engraved brass Lion sigil inlay on the first fret, 24k leaf heraldry design-craved headstock face, gold hardware and a gold-plated pickguard engraved with the Lannister’s sigil. The Jaguar also includes an etched neck plate, hand-engraved knobs and is finished with a thin lacquer over custom paints including “Burnt Crimson” & “Lannister Gold.”
Game of Thrones House Targaryen Stratocaster ($35,000)
For the House Targaryen Stratocaster guitar, Thorn drew significant inspiration from the family’s sigil, a three-headed dragon, as this Strat features craved dragon scales across the front and back of the guitar. The lightweight alder body is adorned with black hardware, a maple neck with ebony fretboard, a hand-cut and engraved sterling silver three-headed dragon sigil inlay on the first fret, as well as a hand-tooled and stained leather pickguard that also features the Targaryen sigil. The Strat also boasts an etched neck plate and is finished with thin lacquer over custom “Dragonglass Black” paint.
