Miranda Lambert has teamed up with Epiphone to create a new guitar called Miranda Lambert Bluebird Studio.
The bluebonnet-colored instrument is a variation on the Epiphone's iconic Hummingbird acoustic guitar and features a square shoulder layered mahogany body, solid Sitka spruce top, gloss finish and custom Bluebird pickguard inspired by her 2020 hit, according to Epiphone.
It follows her Gibson Miranda Lambert Bluebird guitar, which hit stores in 2023.
"My hope is that the release of the Epiphone Bluebird Studio with a more approachable price point will make it possible for young girls and women in general to get their hands on one," Miranda shares in a press release. "If it makes it more accessible and achievable for girls to chase their dreams, then it’s a win in my book."
Of the new guitar's design, the country star explains, "Bluebonnets are the Texas state flower and whether you’re from Texas like me or not, they’re just magical. The design was created by Codey Allen at Gibson after I gave some direction for the visual. The idea was based on my song, 'Bluebird,' and she did a beautiful job creating the artwork."
"The combination of the stunning blue color and the pickguard with bluebirds, bluebonnets, and pops of green ended up such a beautiful result," Miranda adds.
To purchase the guitar at a store near you, visit Epiphone's website.
Miranda's new single, "Wranglers," is currently approaching the top 40 of the country charts.

Authenticity takes center stage on Brian Kelley's forthcoming Big Machine Records debut album, Tennessee Truth.
Arriving Friday, the autobiographical project will proudly showcase the Florida native's values, passions and love for the good ol' country lifestyle.
"For the most part other than one song ["Kiss My Boots"], it's not a serious record. I mean, it's really fun, it's airy, it rocks at moments real hard," Brian tells ABC Audio. "There's love on there. It's outdoor living, it's hunting, it's fishing, it's love. It's everything that I am and everything that I do just on this record."
While the album is personal, Brian's confident its thematic elements will strike a chord with like-minded country fans and listeners.
"My Tennessee Truth is I'm not any different than those that are going to enjoy this record," says Brian. "We have the same head space and mindset. We love country music. We have a lot of the same core values of God, family, country, working hard [and] having something to look forward to when that hard work is done, right?"
Tennessee Truth is available for presave now.

Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) alum HARDY got candid about life in his commencement speech at the college's recent graduation ceremony.
Addressing over 2,400 students as a keynote speaker, HARDY reminisced about his MTSU days and shared an anecdote about how a chance songwriting opportunity in 2016 with then-newcomer Morgan Wallen catapulted his career and earned him several #1 hits.
"The point that I'm trying to make is this: don't be afraid to say yes to an opportunity just because you don't think you'll see an immediate result. You never know where your successes may come from," shares HARDY. "In layman's terms, take a chance on things, take a chance on people, take a chance on yourself. The word 'yes' can truly change your life."
"Let's talk about the word 'no' for a minute," HARDY continues.
"Never be afraid to say no. Stand up for yourself when the time comes. And if your gut is ever telling you to stand up for yourself, go with your gut every single time. And when you do that, you gain pride. And when you have pride, you gain self-confidence, and self-confidence is fuel for success," the "ONE BEER" singer says.
On imposter syndrome, HARDY also shared, "Never fight your success. No matter what thoughts may cross your mind, know that you deserve the success that you're experiencing and that you've earned every single bit of that. Embody that and relish in the fact that you work hard and you're reaping the benefits of your hard work and when you do that, you'll succeed even more."
You can watch HARDY's full commencement speech now on Instagram.
