For nearly eight decades, Fender has been at the heart of music history. From Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock with his Stratocaster to Kurt Cobain redefining rock with his battered Jaguar, Fender’s guitars have shaped the sound of generations.  Now, Fender has teamed up with Jameson Irish Whiskey to launch a limited-edition Jameson x Fender Player II Telecaster® Electric Guitar and Tone Master Princeton® Reverb Amplifier.

The collaboration is part of Jameson’s Triple Distilled Collection, a three-part series celebrating creativity, community, and connection. Last Wednesday, St. Patrick’s Day, (March 12) saw the official launch of this special collaboration, hosted at Fender Studios in Central London. The event brought together a mix of artists, industry insiders, and creators to experience the new release firsthand. With live performances, Jameson whiskey cocktails, and an exclusive, intimate look at the bespoke guitar and amp. Here’s everything that went down.

IT TOOK PLACE AT FENDER’S ICONIC HOME 

Fender Studios set the perfect stage for the evening, an immersive space dedicated to music innovation, tucked away in the heart of London. From the moment guests stepped inside, they were surrounded by the rich history of Fender, with walls lined with iconic guitars and amps.

THERE WERE SEVERAL PERFORMANCES 

Irish garage-punk band Sprints kicked things off with their raw, high-energy sound, setting the tone for an evening of boundary-pushing performances. Emerging singer, producer, and guitarist Santino Le Saint followed with a soulful set, his blend of rock and R&B. Closing out the night was DJ ELLADHC (Foundation FM / Shindig), who took over the decks.

THERE’S STILL MORE TO COME 

The Jameson x Fender Player II Telecaster® and Tone Master Princeton® Reverb Amp mark the second release in Jameson’s Triple Distilled Collection. The first drop saw the launch of a limited-edition Jameson bottle designed by Grammy-winning artist Anderson .Paak, while the third drop sees a newly released five-piece streetwear capsule with Awake NY.
