Back up F/S 1997 Fender Custom Shop Cunetto 60 Relic Stratocaster Fiesta Red

pumkin

97 Cunetto Relic Strat 
 Recent pro fret dress  and set up.
 All original with case COA etc. 
Plays effortlessly sounds like a great Strat should. 

I have tried different pick guard /pickup assembly in this guitar 
but have found the original set up sounds best .
Bridge pickup has a baseplate fitted . 
Stunning maple on the neck that’s aging beautifully and dark rosewood board . 

Those who’ve played or owned relics from this era will tell you how good they are . 
And yes it’s a reluctant sale ! 

Sorry no trades at present …. 

                                                 Price        £3400.00
 . I’m based in Devon and am willing 
to travel within reason.Of course if you’re in the west country you’re welcome to come and have 
a play. 

Hopefully pics will work!

Yes Thanks @chris78 ;it is … I think you were the original owner of the sunburst Cunetto that I got from @wishbones before he passed away and now owned by @tone1 …. This one has the same neck profile…. Not too big and not too small. 

pumkin

Apologies @chris78 it wasn’t you … you must be wondering what I’m on about …. it was @Strat54 who owned the sunburst !

Wish I'd kept by sunburst 60s Cunetto. These are such great guitars!

These are amazing. I had what I believe was the first one in the country.

I bet you can't guess from my username what the serial number was

No I did lol! I had the 1995 one reviewed in Guitarist mag....and the sunburst one with gold hardware that was the one used in the Fender Frontline brochure.

I own the red cunetto from the March 99 issue of Guitarist.

That’s super cool. I had a Cunetto Tele same colour and rosewood. Long gone.

If @gumbothewiddler has the sister of this guitar, I have a cousin - a '97 sunburst mid-50s Strat with a maple board, and it's also a fabulous guitar!
