Solana Studio JC
A LEGEND'S LEGACY
A handful of names in the guitar world transcend the brands they've worked for. John Cruz is one of them. For over three decades, he built some of the most sought-after instruments in the industry for the world's most famous players, earning a legendary reputation among collectors and musicians alike.
At the 2025 Winter NAMM show, we announced a new partnership with John, a shared vision to bring his mastery and extraordinary vision back into the spotlight.
The result of this collaboration is the Solana Studio JC, a guitar that perfectly marries vintage soul with modern refinements. While its core DNA is based on our acclaimed Solana model, this instrument features a carefully chosen set of vintage-style specs and select modern appointments.
This is a guitar born from decades of experience, designed to feel both instantly familiar and uniquely its own. It's the opportunity to own a piece of a legacy, a testament to the fact that true craftsmanship is timeless.
