This Strat built by John Cruz is based on a '56 model and got a few modifications from the Custom Shop. It has a "Contoured Neck Heel" for better access to the upper positions, a great-sounding Shawbucker is in bridge-position and Noiseless PUs are installed in the neck/middle positions. The neck with "57 Style Soft V" profile is made from first-class AAA flamed maple, has a rosewood fingerboard (AAA 9mm, sorted for dark) and is painted with polyurethane - in contrast to the body with a nitro finish.
A fantastic-sounding Strat with an ideal weight, built with the perfection known from John Cruz and in mint condition!
