Fender Custom Shop '60 Cunetto Relic Stratocaster 1997 Burgundy Mist

This vintage-inspired masterpiece from the early days of the Fender Custom Shop is a collector's dream. Dressed in a beautifully aged Burgundy Mist Metallic (custom color) finish, it features a hand-applied relic treatment from the legendary Cunetto era—making it one of the earliest Stratocasters to receive the now-iconic “Relic” treatment. The early ’60s-style oval “C” neck profile on the beautiful burdseye maple neck and slab rosewood fretboard provide a smooth, broken-in feel, while the trio of Fender Custom Shop pickups deliver that unmistakable Stratocaster clarity, warmth, and punch. With its nitro finish, aged hardware, and vintage-correct specs, this is a Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster that captures the look, feel, and tone of a true '60s classic.
