Being a native Clevelander, I hop on the chance to celebrate my city because, honestly, there's usually not much to celebrate (our river caught on fire, for Pete's sake!). But hey, we've got LeBron James, make a mean pierogi and, of course, are home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We're also home to some very important Ford production plants, mainly the Cleveland Engine Plant in Brookpark that builds the Duratec 3.0L V6 and the Lima Engine Plant that builds the new 3.5L V6.

That being the case, Ford used the Cleveland International Auto Show today to announce a special partnership with Fender guitars to produce two special limited edition guitars. The first is the Limited Edition Ford Shelby GT Standard Stratocaster, obviously inspired by the Ford Shelby GT. The first one of 200 that will be made has been signed by Carroll Shelby himself and is being donated to the GuitarMania fundraiser that benefits the Cleveland United Way and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame education fund. Ford will also sponsor two giant 9-foot Stratocasters customized by Blue Oval designers for the event.

No word on price or what the second guitar will be, but you can purchase one of the 200 Shelby GT guitars starting March 1st through the Ford Collection.
