"The fifth guitar of the series. As soon as John Cruz finished the Tele, he loved the way it came out and offered to do more models. I immediately took him up on his offer before he could change his mind. The Pinkburst Strat differs from the standard Strat due to the desire I had to have binding around the body. It meant the the body top was flat, not curved like a regular Strat. This design alteration came out stunningly, just as John predicted it would. The pick ups were designed by John as well."
