Fender Custom Shop 1969 Stratocaster Relic

Masterbuilt by John Cruz

Modified ’69 Strat Specs!

MVP Series Strats and Teles are the Ultimate Relic guitars!

The Vintage Fender Strat- REDEFINED! This 69 Stratocaster Super Relic is part of the Master Vintage Players Series (MVP) Limited Edition run, Masterbuilt by John Cruz, exclusively for Make’n Music in the Fender Custom Shop!!! These special instruments are custom designed to offer the Ultimate in Tone, Playability and Feel. Each guitar is hand-made to our specs in order to give the vibe and look of an actual vintage instrument, but with all the conveniences of a true modern player’s piece.

This particular guitar is based on the 1969 Stratocaster, but built with modified specs to give it more vibe and functionality. It has a very special hand-distressed, Heavy Relic finish package to replicate decades of road worn wear and tear! While these Fender Custom Shop Master Vintage Player Series Strats and Teles may look and feel like actual vintage guitars, they actually play like a dream. This guitar has an incredible feeling neck- The ’69 small U profile feels like the best comfy “C” shape you have ever felt. Easier chording, faster leads and no fretting out when you go for the big bends thanks to the 1&11/16″ nut width, flatter 9.5″ fingerboard radius and 6105 fret wire. Adjustments are a breeze too! The Bullet Truss Rod is accessible from the headstock, so you no longer have to remove the neck for a tweak. The neck uses a vintage-style 4-bolt pocket for the best tone and stability.

Another nifty feature is the stealthily mounted switch hidden discretely in the center of the volume knob. Custom wired to our specification, when engaged, this activates the neck / bridge pickup combination for all those Jimmy Page / Ritchie Blackmore tones -Even a bit of Tele tone flavor. Of course all the classic Stratocaster tones you know and love are still there too – Right where they should be. These guitars are spec’d with the John Cruz Master Design pickups (middle is reverse wound) for plenty of sparkle and chime but with a ballsier, beefier tone.

John Cruz Master Built electric guitars are coveted for the incredible tone, playability and realistic vintage appearance. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to own one now.
