Quite literally my favorite guitar I’ve ever had with plenty of upgrades through the custom shop. Selling to pay off student loans. I’ve taken phenomenal care of this guitar over the years and below you should find all information needed. Masterbuilder John Cruz was working as head of the production line for necks when this guitar was made, and his stamp is shown under the high grade flame maple neck. It includes a deluxe Stratocaster case from Sweetwater and will be serviced before any sale so that it is ready for the next owner. Here is the build sheet:
