With the Fender Stratocaster celebrating its 70th birthday in 2024, we wondered what the most unusual tie-in product releases would be. This capsule collection collaboration with California eyewear brand Knockaround on Strat-inspired sunglasses has to be a contender.

An amp-inspired case is also included and the UV400 sunglasses are priced at £36 and are fitted with polarized lenses – which seems a more than fair price – or there's an option for prescription lenses included for £151.
