The legendary street artist John “Crash” Matos’ work has been greatly admired in the graffiti world and has influenced many other artists. Crash gained recognition in the 1980s for his vibrant, bold, and colorful graffiti art in New York City. He has since become a highly sought-after artist, and his work has been featured in several renowned galleries around the world.

Crash's unique style and attention to detail are reflected in the Fender Masterbuilt John Matos Crash Stratocaster Ltd Edition 33/50. The guitar is hand-painted and finished by the artist himself, with each piece being a unique representation of his mood and inspiration at the time of its creation.

In the early 2000s, Eric Clapton, a big fan of Crash's work, commissioned him to paint three guitars, which became known as the "Crashocasters." The third one, the Crash-3, was sold at a Christie's auction in 2004 for over $300,000.

In honor of this success, Fender commissioned Crash to create a run of 50 one-off guitars, which took him nearly three years to complete. The resulting collection features an assortment of beauty and color, showcasing some serious examples of graffiti street art and easily recognizable Crash artwork.

This guitar is in near-new and unplayed condition, complete with original hang tags and case candy. Its internal and external original components remain intact, ensuring the guitar is of the highest quality.

In conclusion, the Fender Masterbuilt John Matos Crash Stratocaster Ltd Edition 33/50 is a true gem, representing the perfect balance between art and music.
