2017 Fender John Cruz 61 Strat & Dumble Super Reverb featuring Aaron Hiebert! 

They better

Viva Leo Fender!!!

I like these guitars, but if you're not made of money(me neither) and your're good with tools, do the homework and build (or assemble your own). i built a backup (for my cs nocaster) tele that became a #1 for $800 . It out plays the cs and sounds just as good. I built a second guitar with all the same parts and its a good guitar but it doesent sound quite as balanced in tone to the cs or the #1 backup so theres that variable to considder along with the resale value which is probably equal to the current cost of the parts. Regardless, the education is worth the price of the build. Good luck in your tonequest!

Yeah I mean it looks and sounds great but I got a player grade 66 for 8k. Can't imagine paying double for a relic when you can get the real thing for less? 🤷‍♀

I hear you. Bought mine used for $1700 almost 20 years ago. Its a different thing now. Maybe for a different buyer. Not a player i guess.

@@omdwillieturnip8840 Funny ud say that I have a player grade 66 also for cheap, wouldnot trade it for 10 cs…

Just buy a "61 RI fiesta red($2300 new) and a Spark 40($260 new)!!!❤❤❤ Don't waste your money...just play and be happy!!!❤❤❤

I own a Squier, the Neck is a Maple Korean 1996, 50th anniversary, serial CN ,Cort factory, Golden Logo, the Body is a really beautiful Alder Two tone Sunburst from a 2012, 50 Clasic Vibe, Alnico3 in neck and middle Alnico 5 in bridge, vintage kluson style tuner, vintage bridge, 6 screws big block, and in my Twin Reverb and my Blues Deluxe with Eminence Speaker The Wizard, Sounds AMAZING, Equals my Fender RoadWorn 60 with Texmex in the Neck and Pure Vintage Toneriders in middle and bridge.if not better.

What do you gain from whining about the price just move along and look at some squiers

It's not about price. It's about what inspires you to play. No need to go from $16k to a Squier as an insult. A $500 - $2K guitar is for most of us. How is more important than what to me.

Apparently, you have no concept of how desirable Fender Custom Shop guitars Master Built by John Cruz have become. He no longer works for Fender. What’s out there is all that there will ever be, and a lot of people like his work. Personally, this particular guitar isn’t to my liking, and if I were having a Master Built Fender Custom guitar built for me he would not have been the builder I chose. That still doesn’t change the fact that his work has increased in value substantially.

@@charlesbolton8471 If they were that desirable, his own business wouldn't have failed almost immediately.

Looks and sounds great. No better than a $2000 American vintage. Hard pass
