Description

The Fender Masterbuilt selections are some of the best guitars Fender has put out in recent years. The attention to detail and choice parts work together to generate an instrument that is amazing to play. The neck is a thicker 50's style that fills the hand well and has a smooth feel from the worn down finish. This guitar was previously owned by Brad Whitford of Aerosmith and still holds a "Property of Aweosmith" plate on the back of the headstock. This Masterbuilt comes from John Cruz, a storied builder from Fender, known for his excellent craftsmanship. The pickups sound amazing and every element of the guitar is tastefully done. There is the addition of a button integrated into the Volume knob that adds the big pickup. With this feature the player can have a Neck + Bridge combination or engage all three pickups at once.

Comes with a black molded Fender chainsaw case
