2019 Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt John Cruz 1960 Stratocaster HSS Heavy Relic
A seriously special piece from legendary Fender Master Builder John Cruz — one of the most sought-after names ever to come out of the Fender Custom Shop. Built in 2019 during what many collectors consider the peak Cruz era.
This is not your average Custom Shop Strat. The Heavy Relic work is exceptionally realistic and tasteful — the kind of aging and feel that made John Cruz instruments famous among collectors and professional players alike. It has that broken-in vintage vibe the second you pick it up.
The HSS configuration makes it incredibly versatile:
- classic Strat sparkle and chime in the neck/middle
- thicker, more aggressive bridge tones from the humbucker
- equally at home for blues, rock, fusion, or modern playing
The neck feels absolutely phenomenal.
Comes with:
- Original Fender Custom Shop case
- COA and case candy
- Collector-owned and well cared for
If you know John Cruz guitars, you already know.
If you don’t — this is the kind of Strat that ruins regular guitars for you.
