Fender Custom Shop '50s Cunetto Relic Stratocaster 1999 Vintage Blonde

This beautifully aged blonde stunner captures the golden-era magic of the earliest Custom Shop relics. Featuring a soft V-shaped maple neck, lightweight ash body, and a set of Fender Custom Shop single-coils voiced to vintage ‘50s specs, this 1999 Stratocaster is part of the legendary Cunetto Relic era—crafted during Vince Cunetto’s tenure overseeing the relic process. The lightly worn nitro finish, lacquer checking, and subtly aged plastics offer an authentically broken-in feel straight out of a mid-’50s dream. This is not just a Strat—it’s a piece of Fender history.
