Mike Eldred, Director of Sales and Marketing for Fender's Custom Shop, said "This is a dream come true, to work so closely with this magical piece of rock history. To hold BLACKIE and to think about all it has been through and how much fantastic music has come out of it, it's really an indescribable feeling. The Tribute Series BLACKIE guitar is instantly collectible and we're thrilled that it's now available to Eric's fans."
