This exclusive Limited Edition Fender 2020 Evangelion Asuka Telecaster is an official brand collaboration, designed to exactly match the look of the Evangelion franchise character, Soryu Asuka Langley. The ultimate memorabilia for fans of the show, or a must-have for collectors of Fender guitars, this completely unique Tele has been beautifully made by Fender Japan’s best craftspeople.
The 2020 Evangelion Asuka Telecaster® celebrates the long anticipated release of “Evangelion: 3.0+1.0”, the latest and the final episode of the Evangelion animation series due to hit theatres later this year. This unique instrument will only be made in very limited quantities in 2020, and is capped at 30 units for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
The Fender x ASUKA Telecaster project started in 2013, and the final result is truly striking. The Evangelion Asuka Telecaster® is embedded with various aspects of the Soryu Asuka Langley character and the essence of the Evangelion series. The body colour is based on the graduation of Asuka’s red suit, and the body back has staggered black parallel lines. The Synthetic Red Bone string nut evokes Asuka’s headdress, while the 12th fret features a Unit 2 fretboard inlay; every part of the guitar’s look links back to Asuka’s world. Even the pickguard has a unique tri-colour Asuka aesthetic.
Another unique feature is the use of Alumitone pickups – a Humbucker in the Bridge position and Single-Coil in the neck. With a mechanical look, these aluminium tone pickups have a tight low end, even under heavy distortion, with outstanding clarity. The guitar’s hardware has a unified matte black finish, while the neck plate is engraved with the “NERV” logo and the guitar’s build number. (Note that the pictured guitar shows a different build number to that which you will receive.)
The guitar comes with an original certificate of authenticity featuring a graphic of Asuka in the symbolic Plugsuit holding the Telecaster. Specially drawn by Kazuya Tsurumaki – director of the “Rebuild of Evangelion” series – the graphic is, itself, collectible. The guitar is supplied in an ABS Moulded hard case, personalised with the “NERV” logo.
