The Fender Custom Shop Roadshow went off with a bang, and we could not have asked for a better turnout. The hall was packed with local tone connoisseurs, all eager to experience the absolute pinnacle of Fender luthiery up close. From a lively Q&A with the Fender Custom Shop team on hand-wound pickups and relic ageing techniques to test-driving unbelievable Masterbuilt guitars, the energy in the room was absolutely electric.
To make the night even more historic, the Fender team surprised us with a stunning, one-of-a-kind Ruby Red Fender guitar to commemorate Swee Lee’s 80th anniversary! You can now view this breathtaking commemorative piece on display at our Clarke Quay store alongside Dennis Galuszka's phenomenal Masterbuilt creations.

Two distinct tube voices, flexible signal routing, and classic Keeley engineering!
The Keeley Electronics Tube Drive Dual Overdrive is now available at Swee Lee in both Standard and Limited Edition configurations, giving you two unique flavours of authentic tube drive. Both versions pair Keeley's iconic Phat Mod circuit with a high-voltage tube section, but the choice of tubes defines their sonic character.
The Standard version relies on a carefully burned-in 12AX7 tube to deliver warm, touch-sensitive grit and heavy stacked overdrive. If you prefer extra top-end chime and dynamic headroom, the Limited Edition houses a rare 1987 Philips JAN 12AT7WC military-grade tube behind its custom shield. Simple foot gestures allow you to switch effect order or toggle switching modes without missing a beat during live sets or recording sessions.
Add some extra spice to your overdrive! Click the link to shop our Keeley collection at Swee Lee now: https://www.sweelee.com.sg/collections/keeley-electronics
