2009 Toyota Matrix 6-String
Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. and Fender Musical Instruments Corporation have partnered to create the Matrix 6-String concept car with design elements created and inspired by the world-renowned Fender Custom Shop. With Matrix`s appeal to independent males who are a little rebellious in nature and like to experience things first hand and Fender`s rich rock-n-roll history and credibility with the youth market, this relationship was a natural pairing.
The Matrix 6-String`s Austin Speed Shop-designed interior keeps in the classic style of Fender® while incorporating the modern lines and feel of the Matrix. Pearlessence Silver and Chatham Black leather by Garrett Leather adorns the front seats and doors panels. Austin Speed Shop`s own Fat Lucky`s Upholstery is highlighted by custom red stitching, mimicking the 1960`s Von Dutch style pinstripe, embellishing the front seats in a theme that is carried throughout the vehicle. Reproduction 1960`s black and silver carpet by Auto Custom Carpets further carries the classic theme to the floor of the concept while black suede covers the headliner, sun visors, and pillars. Color matched accents in vintage red pearl drum wrap add visual interest and enhance the musical ties within the interior.
The rear of the concept houses an extraordinary Panasonic audio/visual system that includes a 42 inch wide plasma screen HDTV, four amplifiers producing 875 watts, and a Fender® G-DEC® guitar amplifier. For extra flare, custom illuminated billet speaker rings with Fender grill cloth have been incorporated into the vehicle covering each of the 17 speakers. Additionally, an integrated Sony Playstation 3 allows enthusiasts to play the popular Rock BandTM music game from the back of the vehicle. Even the Rock Band guitar conveys the vintage theme with the same red pearl drum wrap treatment displayed throughout the vehicle.
The exterior of the vehicle boasts an aggressive body kit painted in House of Kolors Kandy Brandy Wine. A custom set of three-piece Klassen 22-inch wheels wrapped with Toyo Proxy performance tires, front mount intercooler and a one off stainless steel exhaust compliment the new look.
Accompanying the exterior modifications are JBT big brakes and calipers, braided stainless steel brake lines and a height adjustable coil over the suspension. Classic pinstriping paint by Dart Graphics ties the exterior to the interior of the concept.
The pièce de résistance, a custom Fender Stratocaster® guitar built at the Fender Custom Shop will be played by Custom Shop Marketing Director Mike Eldred and amplified from the back of the Matrix 6-String during the show. The Fender Custom Shop® is where Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons, John Mayer, Jeff Beck and many others go to get their instruments made. This special guitar will be displayed in a custom display case next to the Matrix 6-String during the SEMA event.
For two decades now, the Fender Custom Shop has astounded players and collectors worldwide with achievements of creativity, ingenuity and guitar artistry. From humble mid-`80s beginnings in Fender`s original Southern California home, the Custom Shop has grown to become the world`s preeminent maker of custom "instantly collectible" instruments; a veritable dream factory that has made Fender`s finest the world`s finest.
