Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

*Includes COA and case candy*

Weight: 7.7 lbs.

This Fender Custom Shop master designed by John Cruz speaks to the vintage Pre-CBS era Strats, but with a much cheaper price tag! The John Cruz pickups sound absolutely incredible, and the bridge pickup has a little bit more beefiness to it to not sound like a thinner sounding bridge pickup like most are used to. The Large C neck feels incredible and worn like a vintage strat would be. If you're looking for a killer vintage-style strat with top-notch Fender Custom Shop craftsmanship, look no further!
