The collection
The Blackcase Studio collection is currently in development, with a clear and ambitious vision: to tell the story of Rock through instruments, equipment, and sonic heritage. Every piece being curated is selected not only for its quality, but for its cultural relevance — representing defining eras, iconic sounds, and the evolution of rock music across generations.
This collection is conceived as a living archive of tone and history, honoring the amplifiers, instruments, and technologies that shaped the sound of legendary records. From vintage craftsmanship to modern milestones, the goal is to preserve and celebrate the spirit of rock in its purest form.
The Blackcase Studio collection is not available for rental or sale. It is a permanent, private archive assembled with long-term vision and artistic integrity in mind.
All items are securely stored in a climate-controlled vault to ensure preservation, stability, and protection. Temperature and humidity are carefully regulated to maintain optimal conditions for wood, electronics, and vintage components.
This is not a commercial inventory.
It is a curated legacy in the making.
Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster®
The guitar known as 'Blackie' constitutes one of the most influential musical artifacts of the 20th century, directly associated with the consolidation of the modern blues-rock language and the creative renaissance of Eric Clapton following his Cream and Derek and the Dominos period. Unlike mass-produced instruments, Blackie was conceived as a composite instrument: in 1970 Clapton acquired several 1950s Fender Stratocasters in Nashville, disassembling them and selecting the finest structural components to assemble a single customized guitar tailored to his ergonomic, tonal, and playability preferences. This procedure historically anticipates the contemporary Custom Shop concept and establishes Blackie as one of the earliest documented examples of professional electric guitar customization for artistic purposes.

Fender Jimmy Page Mirror Telecaster®
Historical and Cultural Context
The instrument known as the 'Mirror Telecaster' is among the most visually and sonically emblematic guitars in rock history. Originally a 1959 Fender Telecaster finished in blond, the guitar was modified by Jimmy Page with adhesive mirrored panels applied to its body during the late 1960s, transforming it into an instantly recognizable stage artifact. This guitar became Page’s principal stage instrument during the formative years of Led Zeppelin, marking the transition of blues-based rock into a heavier, more theatrical and experimental sound language.

Fender Robert Cray Stratocaster®
Historical and Cultural Context
The Fender Stratocaster associated with Robert Cray represents a conscious return to tonal clarity, restraint and expressive precision within modern electric blues. Introduced as a signature model in the late 1980s, the instrument reflects Cray’s preference for a stripped-down, no-nonsense configuration that prioritizes articulation, dynamic control and direct connection between player and amplifier, standing in contrast to the high-gain and heavily processed guitar trends of the era.

Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster®
Historical and Cultural Context
The white reverse Stratocaster associated with Jimi Hendrix stands among the most influential instruments in the history of popular music. Although Hendrix was left-handed, he predominantly used right-handed Fender Stratocasters restrung and inverted for left-handed playing, creating a distinctive reversed pickup orientation and string tension geometry that became central to his unprecedented sonic vocabulary. The white Stratocaster became visually and sonically emblematic of Hendrix’s late career, coinciding with the peak of his creative and cultural impact.

Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar®
Historical and Cultural Context
The Fender Jaguar associated with Kurt Cobain represents a decisive rupture with traditional rock guitar hierarchies and aesthetics. Originally a 1965 Fender Jaguar heavily modified by Cobain, the instrument embodied the alternative ethos of repurposing overlooked, non-virtuoso-oriented guitars into vehicles for raw expression. The Jaguar became central to Cobain’s late-career sound, aligning offset Fender designs with the sonic aggression and emotional directness of the grunge movement.

EVH Stripped Series Frankenstein® Frankie
Historical and Cultural Context
The guitar known as the 'Frankenstrat' is one of the most influential and revolutionary instruments in the history of rock music. Conceived and assembled by Eddie Van Halen in the mid-1970s, it combined a Stratocaster-style body with a single high-output humbucking pickup, a maple neck, and radical electronic and hardware modifications. This hybrid construction pioneered the concept of the "superstrat" and redefined expectations for sustain, gain handling, and expressive articulation.

Burns of London Brian May Signature Special Red
Historical and Cultural Context
The instrument known as the 'Red Special' occupies a singular position in the history of electric guitar design. Originally built by Brian May and his father, Harold May, in the early 1960s using unconventional materials and innovative construction techniques, the guitar defied industrial standards and became inseparable from the sonic identity of the band Queen. The Burns-produced Red Special represents an effort to translate this highly idiosyncratic, handmade design into a serially manufactured instrument while preserving its core tonal and ergonomic principles.
