  Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Todd Krause - John Crash Matos Limited 49 of 50 Stratocaster
 

  Yesss! It's one of THE 50 legendary "Crashocasters"! Just how often do you find this? We’re very happy to offer such a legendary guitar. Think about it as a work of art. Are you a fan of 80’s Street Art and Neoexpressionism? Fan of Clapton? Both things? The legendary street artist John “Crash” Matos’ work has been greatly admired in the graffiti world, and influenced many other artists. Eric Clapton was a big fan of his work, and between 2000 and 2004 got three painted for him by Crash. The Crashocaster was born. The third one (Crash-3) was sold at a Christies auction in 2004 for over $300,000. Soon after that, Fender commissioned Crash a run of 50 one-offs, which took him nearly three years to complete. Each one depended entirely on his mood and inspiration at that moment, leaving behind a beautiful assortment of beauty and color, and some serious examples of graffiti street art and easily recognizable Crash artwork. This one is certainly among the most beautiful ones from the run. You can click on the link below to download a .zip file with all the 50 Crashocasters. Judge for yourself. http://guitargiraffe.com/imagenes_clientes/crashocasters.zip This is a unique chance for the collector to get his hands on a serious investment that will certainly rise in value with time, but a true work of art. It does sound beautiful (Masterbuilt by Todd Krause), but it is what it is: a work of art. I don't think you will see another one pop up for a long, long time, especially one of the nicest ones from the run (if not THE nicest). It is in collector’s grade with the COA and the original Fender shipping box.
