John Cruz is the masterbuilt legend. At Fender he created the icons — John Mayer's Black One, the SRV No. 1 Tribute. After leaving Fender he took some time out, then came back to the boutique masterbuilt scene with a bang: JOHN CRUZ CUSTOM GUITARS.
The launch was superb, and cleverly handled. The first 50 instruments went out as the “Premier Fifty” limited edition with extra case candy and even a JOHN CRUZ multistand. All 50 were built by Cruz himself, and the Racing Stripes finish makes a Premier Fifty recognisable across a room.
We're pleased to be able to offer a complete package from single ownership, bought at Proguitar as soon as the model appeared. And the package is worth every penny: beyond the exclusivity, this is an outstanding instrument even by masterbuilt standards.
They won't be made like this again. On top of the already small run, Cruz doesn't appear to be building under his own label at the moment.
The neck — that popular Cruz Large C with a 12" radius and 6100 frets — leaves nothing to be desired. Look closely at the photos and you'll see how much care went into the ageing. Cruz clearly wanted every guitar in this series to make a statement, and he pulled it off.
