BBG News

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I’ve seen some unique merchandise tie-ins to games I love, but the Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster guitar takes the cake! Having spent countless hours battling Rathalos in the Monster Hunter universe, it’s surreal to see this fearsome creature transformed into a musical instrument.

Capcom has formed a collaboration with Fender to produce a Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster guitar, which is a unique, limited-edition musical instrument adorned with the iconic monster from the series in honor of its 20th anniversary.

Starting from next year, authorized Fender dealers will release the standard model, accompanied by a Limited Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster, which comes with a high-quality hard case. This special edition guitar can only be purchased at Fender Flagship Tokyo in Harajuku and Fender Japan’s official online store. Pre-orders for this item are now open.

Here’s a breakdown of the features the Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster has to offer:

  • Rathalos-Inspired Design: The body features Rathalos’ distinctive wings and flame patterns, with claw marks etched into the pickguard, all embodying the essence of the Monster Hunter world.
  • Unmatched Playability and Sound: Equipped with SH pickups (Bridge: Monster Hunter Rathalos Single Coil, Neck: Monster Hunter Rathalos Humbucker), this guitar delivers high power with rich tones, perfect for pairing with distortion pedals.
  • Special Accessories: This special model includes a black hardshell case and certificate of authenticity with the same numbering engraved on the neck plate. Furthermore, the Limited edition comes with a specially designed hard case decorated with a genuine leather belt and original guitar picks. 
  • Limited Edition Features: Glow-in-the-dark materials are used for the 12th fret inlays and side dots, creating a striking effect in dark environments on the Limited Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster. Rathalos’ wing patterns are also etched onto the back of the neck.

The Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster guitar is expected to sell for $1,999.99 USD, £1,849.00 GBP, €2,199.00 EUR, $3,499.00 AUD, or ¥330,000 JPY when it hits the market in March 2025. The Japan-exclusive Limited Edition Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster will cost ¥495,000 JPY.

Monster Hunter Wilds will be available for play on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC starting from the 28th of February, 2025.
