Fender® Blue Flower Collection: A Nostalgic Spotlight on the 1960s
Fender is set to launch the coveted
Blue Flower Collection on June 25, 2025, celebrating the unique spirit that characterized the 1960s. This exceptional collection pays homage to Fender’s iconic
Blue Flower design, popularized during the late 1960s when the
Summer of Love and the
Flower Power movement captured global attention. The collection features two remarkable electric guitars, the
American Acoustasonic® Telecaster®, and a delightful assortment of guitar picks, pouches, and glasses.
The
Blue Flower model, first introduced in 1967, is known for its avant-garde aesthetic, featuring a bright floral-patterned film adorning the guitar body. It resonated with a legion of rockabilly and country-western artists, proving to be a treasured icon for Fender fans. Although production ceased, the model has seen numerous revivals, cementing its place in musical history. Now, the special-edition items including the
Blue Flower designs are being released in limited quantities across Japan.
