Leica Camera and Legendary Guitarist Andy Summers Unveil the LEICA M MONOCHROM “Signature”

Limited to 50 pieces worldwide, the striking set encapsulates a perfect marriage of two instruments of art: a guitar and a camera

September 17, 2019 – A flawless union of supreme craftsmanship, rock & roll and photography comes to life with Leica’s latest limited-edition camera. Created in collaboration with Andy Summers, a former member of the rock band The Police and one of the greatest guitarists in the world, the LEICA M MONOCHROM “Signature” represents a striking synergy of music and photography.

A true virtuoso of his craft, Summers’s latest album, Triboluminescence, showcases his versatile abilities to perform remarkably with an array of instruments including the guitar, bass drums, banjo, keyboards and more. Summers, a renaissance man, can stay in-tune with not only musical instruments, but photographic instruments as well. A world class Leica photographer, Summers has worked with photography for 36 years, even developing a number of books and exhibitions to showcase his work.

Mirroring Leica’s dedication to unparalleled craftsmanship, well-known manufacturer of stringed instruments and amplifiers, Fender, has a long tradition in building Signature Guitars as a tribute to some of the world’s greatest musicians. Fender will also launch a special Signature Guitar in collaboration with legendary guitarist Andy Summers.

To honor Summers’s work and as a complement to the guitar, Leica created the LEICA M MONOCHROM “Signature.” The limited-edition camera features intricate design elements from the aforementioned Fender Signature Guitar, such as a leatherette that matches a collage from Summers’s legendary photo collection that also appears on the Fender guitar and a thin red line engraving. On the other hand, the guitar includes features of the camera, including the silver operation elements. The finished products are a true reflection of the epitome of thoughtful design expertise.
