What we think:-
It’s easy to see why John Cruz is so coveted when you hold this in your hands! The relic work and detail is absolute class. If you were to be told this was a 63 you would struggle to find an argument. Used as a studio guitar only it’s an absolute joy and in great condition for a relic of course. Please note this guitar will be prepped by our Luthier team prior to sale.
