Overview

Inspired by The Walking Dead, this metal monster has killer looks and tone.

Master Builder John Cruz says his Zombie Stratocaster was inspired by his desire to create a more "dark and macabre" guitar "with a more rock 'n' roll attitude and vibe."

Cruz also wanted to incorporate more of what he calls "the hidden talents within Fender," so he enlisted the expertise of Custom Shop painter Joaquin Lopez to collaborate on the guitar's deep, dark "zombie" theme, which Cruz said "shows the darkness of spells cast by witch doctors and headhunters."

The canvas for this marvelously detailed artwork is the instrument's beautiful quilt maple top, and the guitar also features distinctively detailed original inlay artwork by acclaimed inlay artist Ron Thorn.

"The hope is that there will be ongoing collaborations like this that encompass all of the enormous talent that the Custom Shop has to offer," John said.
