I'm selling my fantastic RUST Guitars S-Series Stratocaster. I have played this guitar since 2019 all over the world with rap artist RESIDENTE, who won 29 Latin Grammy and 5 Latin Grammys. Most recently the Grammy for Best Musica Urbana Album in 2025. The guitar can be heard on the track 'Quiero Ser Baladista' Residente feat. Ricky Martin.
This guitar has seen stadiums and legendary venues all over the world including: Radio City Music Hall (NYC), Palau St. Jordi (Barcelona), Movistar Arena (Buenos Aires), Luna Park (Buenos Aires), Zocalo Sq. (Mexico City with an audience of 200 000 people) and many more. I played this guitar exclusively on these tours since I don't like to bring many guitars on tour.
Rust Guitars is the brand of legendary New York City luthier and guitar tech Matt Brewster. He hand-picks specific parts and assembles them at 30th Street Guitar in New York.
-Olympic White, Medium Relic by Matt Brewster
-Maple Neck with Rosewood fingerboard, no finish on neck just some light oil. Feels amazing like my vintage strat.
-25.5 Scale
-I'm not 100% but I think it's a 12.5 radius (slightly flatter than Fender more like a gibson)
-Medium C neck shape
-Lollar Pickups: Neck Strat, Middle Strat, Bridge Humbucker
-Trussrod at the headstock
-aged Rust Hardware (Saddles and Neckplate)
-5 way switch
-Master Volume, Master Treble Tone , Master Mid Tone (this gives the guitar a very special sound, more towards an SG)
-Master Mid Tone is push/pull to toggle between regular Humbucker output or a lower output on the Humbucker matched to the other pickups. Very useful.
The only 'issues' are some very mild dark discoloration where the right arm rests and on the back of the guitar. Also it's missing the Rust water decal. All the nicks and dings are the relicing.
I have a pedal rubber foot under the push/pull control to not accidentally push it in, since I always have it out. Easily removed.
The guitar plays and sounds absolutely incredible. And it has experienced some serious rock'n'roll.
Comes with a branded Gig Bag that is in fair condition. The top of the sheet music compartment is torn. I never use this gig bag for this guitar. It's just lying around in my house usually.
You can see the guitar in action at a show in Bogota.
