The Story

Masterbuilt John Cruz 1960s Stratocaster Heavy Relic Electric Guitar 3-Tone Sunburst

This is an absolutely killer John Cruz masterbuilt 1960’s Strat that he bought to the Zoo for the 2017 Fender Custom Shop Road Show and we just couldn’t let them leave with it! It’s got a 2-piece off-center seam alder body with a thin heavy relic lacquer finish, “C” quartersawn maple neck, and three John Cruz handwound pickups with an S-1 switch that’s specially wired to give you the neck and bridge pickups together for a sound that’s equal bells and quack.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy and Paperwork
