Hi Guys,

I've come across some John Cruz built guitars that has his signature on the back neck plate and others built by him with the Fender Custom Shop neck plates. Is there any reason for this? Are his signature neckplates more from his own relicing designs vs lets say a dealer request? Thanks

I have been wondering about that too, don't know if it's an option you can ask for when ordering. I have a Fessler Strat on order and it would be pretty cool to have his signature on the neck plate.

I have seen Yuriy Shishkov neck plates too btw, but a lot more John Cruz ones of course.

man, it's gorgeous!

I definitely noticed it (as you can tell), and I also noticed it didn't stay for long :lol:

glad you got it, it's a beautiful Tele and I bet it sounds even better than it looks.

yeah I do like to think it's got some mojo. well, it's very special to me, to say the least.

the Tele looks just as good as I remembered. I think it's the first of its kind actually, I haven't seen any like this one before.

take good care of that John Cruz pick btw, they are quite rare :) (wish I had one!)
