Description: Vintage Correct Parts is proud to offer for your consideration a: Vintage 1996 Fender Custom Shop "Cunetto" 54 Relic Stratocaster in rare Sunburst with Gold Hardware! From the early days of the Fender Custom shop comes this incredible '54 reissue Strat!These guitars are now legendary - and while many listings will claim to be from the "Cunetto Era" , this example is a TRUE Vince Cunetto painted and aged Strat. These have become somewhat legendary guitars and for good reason. They are absolutely incredible guitars that were "Master Built" before that was even a thing. This is one of three true Cunettos we are offering - all of them recently coming out of a collection and all in fantastic original condition with only the smallest sings of use. While there's quite a bit of information regarding these to be found online, the short history is that in the infancy of the Fender Custom Shop, they were not yet equipped to authentically finish and hand age guitars as they would today. All of this work was out-soured to the now legendary Vince Cunetto in Bolivar, Missouri. These amazing guitars were painted with incredibly authentic 1950's style finishes. The necks and bodies hand aged as were all of the metal hardware. The woods Fender sent the Cunetto operation were consistently the best of the best available. Hand selected bodies that are lightweight and resonant, incredible birdseye flamed maple necks. They spared no expense on these. John Page, a legend in his own right, was running a tight ship at the Fender Custom Shop and this run of guitars would kickstart what is now commonly referred to as the "dream factory" which employs master and team builders hand building these guitars too numerous to count. Not only do these original Cunetto Fenders sound and play incredibly well, offering all the vibe and tone of a vintage 50's Strat for a small fraction of the price, they are also an important historical link on the continuum of Fender and American Guitar Craftsmanship. They will only continue to become more collectable and valuable as the years go by. Original Hard Case, COA, Trem arm and Trem cover included as pictured. We ship worldwide via UPS ONLY.
