Fender has partnered with Royal Blood frontman Mike Kerr for a limited-edition Jaguar Bass signature guitar, which recreates one of the bassist's prized custom Fender models.

The short-scale four-string marks Fender’s first collaboration with the bass guitar player and vocalist of the heralded UK rock duo, who – across three studio albums – have received plaudits from the likes of Dave Grohl, Jimmy Page and others.
