This guitar comes from the legendary former Fender Masterbuilt luthier, John Cruz. It is based on a Fender Custom Shop Teambuilt 1959 Hardtail Stratocaster, and John Cruz has personally re-crafted the heavy relic, including the aging of the parts, giving the guitar a strong John Cruz style. In addition to the relic work, John Cruz has performed a master level setup on the guitar, ensuring its quality. Each guitar comes with a certificate signed by John Cruz and also features his signature on the back of the headstock.

Guitars made by John Cruz have always been a symbol of value retention. Since his departure from Fender in 2020, the market price of the Masterbuilt guitars he created has continued to rise, now reaching over $15K. Given that it is nearly impossible for John Cruz to return to Fender in the future, the guitars he has worked on will only become rarer. These guitars are very limited in number, and you might not see them elsewhere. Collectors interested in this unique opportunity should act quickly.
