Ferrari edition Carbon Fiber Travel Guitar by Blackbird

Ferrari's vast branding division has put the company's name and logo on just about everything by now. But while we've seen Ferrari edition sound systems, this is the first time the Prancing Horse logo has adorned an actual musical instrument. That is, assuming you don't count the sportscar's sonorous exhaust note.

Built by a former Ferrari designer, the Blackbird Rider is a compact, lightweight travel guitar with an innovative design. Now the company that inspired its creation has teamed up with its designer for a special edition. With such unique touches as a red A string and Individually signed by Ferrari F1 drivers Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, the Ferrari edition Blackbird guitar was sold exclusively at the Ferrari Store. Unfortunately they're all sold out by now, but for a hair under $1500 they'll make you a new one.

If you thought the Urwerk 103 was sexy in rose gold or platinum, check out the 103 Blackbird, a black-coated, platinum timepiece which is being made in a limited edition of only 10 pieces. The supersleek Blackbird has a coating of PE-CVD otherwise known as Plasma Enhanced-Chemical Vapor Deposition which is scratch resistant. The SuperLuminova markers are yellow by day and glow in blue by night. It has a Calibre 3.03 manual-winding movement with a 43-hour power reserve.
