Fender / Shepard Fairey producing Joe Strummer Telecaster
by The Clash

Guitar maker Fender and artist Shepard Fairey will debut a Joe Strummer signature Telecaster later this month at the Summer NAMM 2007 trade show. The guitar, artificially worn and weathered to mimic Joe's actual, features a sheet of stickers and stencils that replicate and riff on the designs Joe used to customize to his own. You can find images and details on the product at Electric Guitar Review. Large images looking over the whole package can be found at Strummer News.

It also appears that Fender is producing a second replica as well, a with more exact reproduction's of Joe's own art, via their Custom Shop

So what do you think? Hero worship or cash in? Turning rebellion into money?
