Highly desirable early Cunetto 3-tone sunburst with gold hardware, fantastic figured neck. Weight 3.45kg. All original as far as I can tell with correct ink stampings and 'impressed' logos on the body and neck. Plays and sounds as good as it looks. Unfortunately no COA, as bought from Nicks Guitars a few years ago, it came with nearly all the body paint chipped/worn off, although the original colour was under the guard (the '800' body stamp denotes 3-tone sunburst on these earlier models) and stainless steel frets. I hated the frets and had them replaced straight away with standard nickel steel medium jumbos. After a while I had the body refinished in nitro by Eternal Guitars Sussex who did a superb job with a medium relic to match the neck. Comes with a non original case, an early 80s Fender Tweed AVRI case with real leather end caps, I've seen these sell for £200+ alone.
So an early Cunetto Strat for the price of a regular Custom Shop, no contest in my opinion having owned a few CS Relics.
Priced to sell at £1800 firm, cash on collection S.West, no trades or swaps. Potential buyers PM only please.

This guitar was THE guitar used in the Fender Frontline catalogues back in 97/98. It came to me direct from Fender via my dealer. When I sold it in 1999, it even had the original shipping box. Its totally legit bar the work you detail.
