Unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, the Volkswagen Beetle Fender concept is a tribute to the famous guitar brand. Given the positive response, the German automaker decided to launch a special package for future Beetle customers.

Of course, the production model won't be as cool as the show car, which featured a guitar-enabled subwoofer in the trunk and iPod dock/head unit with vintage-style mesh surround. Sources told Car and Driver that you'll have to connect your axe via the auxiliary input or Bluetooth interface using a smartphone app.

Instead of genuine wood trim, expect some form of woodgrain inserts, not to mention retro-looking tailpipes, red exterior accents, and a lowered suspension.

Volkswagen has yet to announce a release date, but don't be surprised if the Fender package arrives in showrooms by the end of the year.
