Fender Custom Shop Strat Pickguard 2003 – Signed John Cruz, Todd Krause +5 More
A rare piece of Fender Custom Shop history: a 2003 Stratocaster pickguard hand-signed by SEVEN Fender Custom Shop Master Builders of the early-2000s golden era:
• John Cruz
• Todd Krause
• Yuriy Shishkov
• Stephen Stern
• Chris Fleming
• Greg Fessler
• Dennis Galuszka
Every one of these names is familiar to collectors of Masterbuilt Fender instruments. Finding all seven signatures together on a single piece is extremely uncommon.
THE SIGNATURES
All seven signatures are handwritten directly on the pickguard and remain clear and highly visible. The piece comes mounted in its wooden display frame, ready to hang.
PROVENANCE & AUTHENTICITY
Acquired in 2003 through a Fender Premium Reseller and kept in the same private collection for over 20 years. No certificate of authenticity is included, and the asking price honestly reflects that: a genuine-provenance collector piece priced well below what a documented example would cost. Additional close-up photos available on request.
CONDITION
Excellent condition. Please study all photographs carefully for the exact condition and details.
