LEGO have announced a Fender Stratocaster brick set based on a fan-submitted piece for this year’s LEGO Ideas ‘Music To Our Ears’ contest.

 

The guitar set, which was designed by LEGO Ideas user TOMOELL, will be the first in a new music-centric series of LEGO releases, as the company looks to focus on its adult consumers.

 

“Everyone has seen the Fender Stratocaster guitar, it’s super famous and we think it’s going to be exciting to bring this to life using LEGO bricks,” LEGO Ideas Design Manager Sam Johnson told Brick Fanatics. “Music is a relatively new place for LEGO to play in so we’re really excited to see how we can execute this.”

 

TOMOELL designed a variety of Stratocasters in various colorways as part of his submission, but it’s not yet known which one(s) LEGO will manufacture.

LEGO is a great toy for thinking children.

 

Considering over 400 billion LEGO pieces have been sold, at a current rate of seven LEGO sets per second/sold, I’d say a lot of people give a hoot.
