New Guitar Shapes Are Coming – And You Get to Decide What’s First
Since day one, every LUTHIQ creation has started from the same iconic foundation: the Stratocaster. Its timeless silhouette has become the canvas for our custom artwork, allowing us to transform beloved bands, movies, games, and pop culture into fully playable works of art.
But every great story evolves.
Today, we’re excited to announce that LUTHIQ is expanding beyond the Stratocaster. In the coming months, our collection will grow to include several legendary guitar shapes, each with its own history, personality, and unmistakable style.
Even better? Our community will choose which one launches first.
The Stratocaster: The Legend That Started It All
Designed in 1954, the Stratocaster quickly became one of the most recognizable electric guitars ever created. Its ergonomic double-cutaway body, comfortable contours, and versatile three-pickup layout revolutionized electric guitar design.
Over the decades, it has been played by some of the greatest musicians in history, becoming a symbol of innovation and musical freedom.
Fun Facts
- The Stratocaster has remained in continuous production for over 70 years, making it one of the longest-running guitar designs ever made.
- Its famous body contours were revolutionary at the time, making it significantly more comfortable than earlier solid-body guitars.
- The synchronized tremolo bridge introduced an entirely new way for players to add expression and vibrato to their performances.
- Countless legendary albums across rock, blues, pop, metal, and even modern progressive music have featured the unmistakable sound of a Strat.
For us, the Stratocaster has been the perfect foundation for turning creative concepts into collectible instruments. But now it’s time to explore new possibilities.
Meet the Future Shapes
Each guitar body tells a different story. Here’s a preview of what’s coming.
Telecaster
The original workhorse.
Introduced in 1950, the Telecaster is widely considered the world’s first commercially successful solid-body electric guitar. Its simple design, incredible reliability, and unmistakable bite have made it a favorite across country, rock, indie, blues, and even modern metal.
Fun Fact: The Telecaster actually predates the Stratocaster by four years, making it the oldest design in our upcoming lineup.
Jazzmaster
The cult classic.
Originally released in 1958 for jazz musicians, the Jazzmaster unexpectedly found its biggest audience decades later among alternative rock, shoegaze, surf, and indie artists.
Its offset body shape has become one of the coolest and most recognizable designs in modern guitar culture.
Fun Fact: Although originally marketed to jazz players, the Jazzmaster became an icon of alternative music instead.
Jaguar
Small body. Huge attitude.
First introduced in 1962, the Jaguar combines a compact offset body with one of the most unique electronic control systems ever installed on a production guitar.
Today it’s loved for its distinctive appearance and unmistakable character.
Fun Fact: The Jaguar features one of the most complex switching systems ever offered on a Fender-style guitar.
Meteora
Modern design meets classic DNA.
The Meteora is one of the newest additions to the Fender family, featuring futuristic lines while maintaining familiar playability.
Its aggressive styling makes it a perfect platform for bold artwork and modern-themed custom builds.
Fun Fact: Unlike the other models on this list, the Meteora was designed in the 21st century, making it the newest shape we’re considering.
Mustang
Small guitar. Big legacy.
Originally introduced in 1964 as a student model, the Mustang eventually became a favorite among alternative and grunge musicians.
Its compact body and unique offset design have earned it a loyal following around the world.
Fun Fact: Despite being marketed as a beginner’s guitar, it became one of the defining instruments of the ’90s alternative rock movement.
Starcaster
The bold outsider.
Released in the 1970s, the Starcaster stands apart with its semi-hollow construction and striking offset body.
Its distinctive look makes it one of the most unique guitars Fender has ever produced.
Fun Fact: Once overlooked, the Starcaster has experienced a huge resurgence in popularity thanks to modern indie and alternative artists.

It’s about giving every guitarist, collector, and fan the chance to see their dream design brought to life on the body style they love most.
