Clearaudio Turns Vinyl Into a Design Statement With Guitar-Inspired Turntable

Crafted as a collector’s piece, the electric guitar–shaped record player pairs high-end audio internals with a strictly limited global release of 1,000 units.

Clearaudio is merging exceptional workmanship with musical genius through the launch of the Clearaudio Celebrity Al Di Meola Edition turntable. Created in close partnership with the iconic American jazz guitarist, this remarkable release is the first installment in the brand's new Celebrity series, which pays tribute to the most impactful musicians of our era.

The turntable's distinctive chassis is made from high-density wood fibre and is designed to resemble an electric guitar. The design directly honours Di Meola’s renowned instrument of preference. The unit is offered in an elegant black or a rich real rosewood veneer, harmoniously integrating aesthetic inspiration with functional attributes. The conventional guitar volume knob has been ingeniously reconfigured into a multipurpose touchscreen dial that regulates power and rotational speeds.

In addition to its impressive design, the turntable incorporates Clearaudio's premier high-end technology. The 30mm primary platter is propelled by a precision flat belt and governed by the brand's Tacho Speed Control (TSC) technology, which guarantees real-time speed monitoring and automatic calibration. To ensure pristine sound purity, the 12V DC motor is isolated using an Innovative Motor Suspension (IMS) system to eradicate undesirable vibrations. The limited-edition deck is equipped with a specially calibrated Profiler tonearm and a bespoke Celebrity MM cartridge. The Clearaudio Celebrity Al Di Meola Edition turntable is offered through select merchants for $5,999.99 USD.
