Didn’t think there was enough Masterbuilt Fenders kicking around here so thought I would add this one.

Very cool early John Cruz build in Burgundy Mist finish.

Fender didn’t have spec sheets back in this period but here is all I know

John Cruz Masterbuilt 1960s Custom Relic Strat in Burgundy Mist.

Neck profile is apparently a large V. .880 - .980 with 9.5” radius and Dunlop 6100 fretwire.

Fretboard is dark rosewood and the neck is straight grain maple.

Pickups are Custom 60’s wound to John Cruz’ specs.

Pickguard is a JV Guitars Custom made pre-CBS style aftermarket relic’d ‘guard with underguard shield.

Includes Fender G&G hardshell case COA and pictured candy

£8000 collected from West Lothian area of Scotland or can post 

Now £7000




Dale Wilson Masterbuilt 60s Custom Telecaster

This sounds incredible and has a fantastic playing neck with a real worn in vintage feel. The relic work is stunning as you would expect. See floor traveller pics for spec.

Weighs in at 7.5lbs

£6750 posted trades/px considered

Now £6500

    Couldn’t agree more. I can’t believe I’m letting the fiesta red one go, but I just have too many guitars and no time to play them all

    Only in a collection like yours can I understand a guitar like that needing to be played more!! It’s a great price too someone should snap it up but I’m derailing my own sale here  =)

    Lovely guitar, you could probably email Fender Consumer Relations and they'd give you the spec sheet mate.

    My head said brake, but my heart cried never.

    Cheers, I did that mate but they confirmed they don’t have spec on file for custom made guitars back then.

    I know John Cruz has become a bit persona non grata but that's a lovely Strat.  And a 10/56 V profile on a rosewood board '60s Strat is a bit of a rarity.  Good luck with the sales!

    That strat looks like it has teeth marks in,just below jack socket? Or is that a relic point?

    You know if you have a serious interest in the guitar and have any concerns or issues with it, a pm would be the way to go rather than planting negative comments. I suspect that was just for amusement?

    I wasn’t present when the guitar was relic’d and haven’t owned since new so really I can’t confirm what marks it left the factory with and which ones were accrued after however, even without any dental qualifications I am pretty confident the guitar has not been bitten.
