Legendary luthier John Cruz announces two new guitars featuring custom pickups and lacquer-tinted headstocks.
The Crossville Series includes two models incorporating the best of all worlds – the Crossville ST “S”-Style guitar and the Crossville TL “T”-Style guitar. Each player-centric model is available with a wide array of options and finishes, clear or matching lacquer-tinted headstocks, four levels of Cruz’s famous aging and distressed conditioning (Pristine, Time Capsule, Whole Lotta Playing, Battle Axe), and custom hard-shell cases.
Crossville ST guitars are available with light hand-select alder, mahogany or swamp ash bodies; large “C”-shape, quartersawn, 25.5”-scale length maple necks with a 12”-radius maple cap or rosewood fingerboard (sans “skunk stripe”), 21 6100 jumbo frets without tangs (reducing fret sprout), Graph Tech
