Fender Custom Shop (Masterbuilt) / 51 "HYBRID NOCASTER" NOS JOHN CRUZ MASTERBUILT / 2004 / Guitar
|
Here’s a somewhat rare and unique Cruz masterbuilt guitar: It’s not a Nocaster, it’s not a Tele® and it’s not quite a Strat®, so we think it’s a No-Stratatelecaster or a version of. This must have been the guitar Mr. Cruz thought of late one Friday night right before it was quittin’ time and he may have just said to himself, “Self, I feel like working late tonight, the shop is quiet and I do have a fresh jug of Georgia’s finest white lightnin’ those ‘Elk boys recently sent. Let’s have a taste and see what comes up”. It looks like corn squeezins’ are a supreme inspiration, because this is one killer guitar! It’s got a lightweight Ash body, a ’52 U- shaped Maple neck w/ rolled fretboard edges, bone nut, 7.25″ fretboard radius, awesome Nitro finish and a Nocaster bridge pickup with lipstick SLS- 1 neck pickup. Basically, it’s got a little of everything and if your Custom Shop collection is missing that “something special”, this could be the guitar for you.
