    That is a terrible post. What an idiot. 

    Wonder what it will do to the value of his guitars? I wouldn't want one of his now
    Yet the price never put you off?  ;)

    Looks like Fender will have to train up another 'master builder' on how to press start on the CNC machine.

    The value of those fake masterbuilt JC necks is going to plummet...

    The term "masterbuilder" when referring to bolt on guitars with no fancy inlays or intricate carving always seems a bit of a misnomer.
    How they get away with those kinds of price tags amazes me.

    I think it just means he’s the least terrible at relic work in the factory..

    I don't get why people dont engage their brains. That's an offensive joke and something that some may pass around in other circles, but publically? It's like committing professional suicide. 

    Everyone is on high alert at the moment and and need cool heads. Is it rascist? I don't think so but it's offensive nature and the added context of the BLM protesters just add up to a really bad idea. It's the classic "sick joke" of probably a bye gone era. 

    Oh well, to paraphrase Thom Yorke... He did it to himself, he did, and that's what really hurts...

    If anyone has any doubts about the “joke” they should try posting it to their own social media and see how it goes down. I’d imagine most employers would have an issue with it, whether US based or not. 

    As one of the public faces of the flagship product of a company with an international profile, it was a very stupid thing to do.

    The neck on my Cunetto is a John Cruz
    Pretty sure his name went on Cunetto necks as part of the quality control (or similar) job he was doing at the time, he didn't make them FYI

    I saw a video a while back of him talking through the assembly process on a Strat and his accompanying chat certainly seemed to show him as a pretty unpleasant character. I can't be arsed to go back and find it again but my recollection is it was pretty misogynistic. Tit.

    Yep. Doesn't stop bedroom dealer-scum from claiming it and sticking an extra £1.5k on the top though. This guy is still claiming the guitar was "built" by him even though I messaged him a few times about the error, with supporting evidence: https://reverb.com/uk/item/33247160-2000-fender-custom-shop-1963-relic-telecaster-aaa-flame-neck-john-cruz-incredible-mint

    Despite other people losing jobs and facing a public backlash over unwise yet very revealing public comments he still posted that?

    Doesn't seem like he's very bright.

    A friend of mine once said "never miss an opportunity to keep your mouth shut" good advice in the current climate.
    Don't touch that dial.

    Good for Fender, showing some moral fortitude. John Cruz if free to be a giant d-bag, but he's not entitled to a great job with an iconic and public image-dependent company forever while being a giant d-bag.
