Price: 534.57
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING.This NO RESERVE, 3-days auction is for a really great-sounding John Cruz masterbuilt Nocaster with a 1-piece swamp ash MJT aged body.All but the body and some screw in this guitar (electronic, bridge plate, hardwear, neckplate, pickgurd etc.)  comes from a 201 0 custom ordered, like new (relic apart)John Cruz masterbuilt Nocaster, Serial Number: JC1528.The specs are as follows:The neck is a 1-piece quarter-sawn, end-to-end grain maple. "Nocaster" big U shape (see fender site for the exact thickness).Tinted nitro laquer finish. Fingerboard: 9.5'' radius, 21 medium jumbo "rolled on" frets (in essentially pristine conditions).As you can see by the pics below, the neck is signed and dated by John Cruz.The pickups are custom nocaster pickups.The body  (originally two-tone  sunburst, has been replaced with a period correct) blonde, 1-piece swamp ash  MJT aged  body.The guitar is a resonant feather. Its weight is 6,6 pounds.The guitar comes with its original tweed, center pocket G&G case, ashtray cover and some case candies. The COA is shown in the pics below only as reference and will NOT be included (as I sold it with the body).In the last pics you can see this JC guitar with my beloved Broa dcaster, so that you can appreciate the similarities and differences between the original blackguards and these really good Custom Shop reissues.Even if they "feel very different" (mostly due to the "modern fast necks" needed by many guitarists today)I have to admit the sound is at least comparable.This guitar is really a great sounding Tele. I think Nobody will be disappointed with this one.Regarding playability: the JC finfarboard is simply...PERFECT!NOTE: the guitar has been re-assembled and setted by a well-know Italian luthier.With .011 D'Addatio strings bends "like butter"! The strap buttons has not been installed yet.I am in Italy and I will ship "Expedited" wolrdwise for $90 (resp., $65) outside (resp., inside) Europe.   ... Click for more info
