The Story

Used 2013 Custom Shop John Cruz Masterbuilt '52 Tele Super Relic Electric Guitar Faded Surf Green

There aren't any Relics like John Cruz Relic's, and this guitar is one to remember: a 2013 Custom Shop '52 Tele Super Relic with a Faded Surf Green finish. Everything on this guitar has been made to feel like an instrument that's been played for 60+ years, from the super-thin nitro finish to the heavily rolled edges of the maple neck. Speaking of the neck, this guitar has a chunky "U" shape to it, however with slightly narrower shoulders than the usual Nocaster profile. Add in the Abby Ybarra handwound Twisted Tele and Nocaster pickups, and this is one guitar you aren't going to want to put away.

Not that you would be able to tell, but this guitar is in excellent condition and all wear and tear looks original to how it was when it left the factory. Includes original hardshell case and all accessories.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Setup Tools, Strap, Cable, Hang Tags, Paperwork
