Now Playing! Chris Cheney Signature Model

The Living End are back with their new album White Noise. Having rediscovered the passion for a hard-rocking riff, the guys are all fired up to tour this new batch of songs.

Going strong for almost 15 years now, The Living End have become one of Australia’s premier rock exports to the world. Their tough, catchy tunes are driven by a thumping rockabilly style bass & drum combo of Scott & Andy, and overlaid by the all-out guitar assault delivered by the main-man himself, Chris Cheney.

Fans have long known that Chris is one of the most exciting rock guitarists in our country, and we at Fender Australia are no different!

That is why we are pleased as punch to announce the imminent arrival of the G6126T Chris Cheney Signature Model!

This guitar has been developed with Chris over the last few years.

Having sketched out some initial design notes backstage one night, the guitar has evolved to include all his favourite spec's & mod's, and the end result is something that is undeniably cool!

Check out the new guitar. Visit The Living End’s website to check out White Noise, and find out when they are coming to your town.

Now, all that’s left to do is to get out there and rawwk!
