200 limited edition Volkswagen Fender Beetles will be released in Australia at the end of this month.

The special edition VW Beetle features a dash styled on the Fender Stratocaster and the sound system is a Fender Premium Audio System. The sound system features eight speakers, a subwoofer and a 400-watt amplifer.

The VW Fender is also badged Fender on the inside and outside of the vehicle.

The Fender Beetle features 18-inch alloy wheels and bi-xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps.

The Australian edition of the Volkswagen Beetle Fender will sell for $34,990 (drive away cost).

Incidentally, The Beatles used Fender Stratocasters for the first time on the ‘Rubber Soul’ album. John and George used Strats on the guitar solos for ‘Nowhere Man’. Lennon and Harrison also used Fender Stratocasters on ‘Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band’. George also played the Fender Strat on ‘All You Need Is Love’.

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James “auditioned” for Apple with his song ‘Something In The Way She Moves’. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
