## Summary

Pokémon Center and Fender have announced two electric guitars to mark Pokémon’s 30th anniversary: a Red Version Stratocaster and a Green Version Telecaster. Made in Japan, they draw on the original games’ pixel art and include custom pickups, commemorative neck plates and an 8-bit sound system. Pressing the volume knob adds game-inspired electronic sounds to the guitar’s output.

Pokémon says the guitars are due for release in 2027, with preorders to follow. In Japan, buyers can apply through a Pokémon Center Online lottery from 19 to 24 November 2026; Fender lists each guitar at ¥396,000 including tax and says Japanese orders can be shipped only within Japan. Availability elsewhere should be checked through regional official sites.
