The Story

'59 Telecaster NOS 3-Tone Sunburst Masterbuilt John Cruz 2013

This is a 2013 Fender Custom Shop 59 Telecaster built by John Cruz as part of the Wildwood 10 series - which saw guitars with vintage Fender looks combined with a modern flat 10" radius and bigger 6105 frets! The guitar is loaded with Abby Ybarra handwound Texas Special pickups, which are now quite special as Abby has retired. There are a few dings around the body, and one large ding on the front edge as shown. No markings on the neck which would affect the feel as you're playing. The original case, COA, and copy of the build sheet are included along with a Cruz Tools took kit.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Cruz Tools Kit, Build Sheet
