Squealing Pig Guitars Website Price £3399.99

Description

Here's a killer Custom Shop Strat with awesome looks and tone! Many players dig these earlier Custom Shop models citing better attention to detail and lower production numbers. And yes this ones a relic, coming straight from the Vince Cunetto era and would be of interest to Cunetto fans.

John Page, Vince Cunetto - together they made some of the best relic Statocasters on the planet. This one is a sweet 1960's that plays and sings beautifully. 5 position tone switch and all the original parts. Mint condition and collector owned Coming straight from a prized Collection which hasn't seen the light of day. Virtually UN-used in the last 20 years. All nicks and wear are original :). Please let me know if you would like to see any cavity/Pocket shots. I will email you privately. This one is dated as a 1997 and signed by John cruz with a production number of 840 Stamped under the pickguard. The serial 721617 is all printed on the neck. I have also included a spare laminated Custom Shop certificate.

Made in the USA Custom Shop quality throughout. The 25.5 inch scale maple neck features a 7.25 inch radius Rosewood fingerboard with 21 frets. Check out the cool birdseye figure on this example. A signature John Page Feature. A trio of 60's single coils deliver big tone. A vintage style trem and Kluson style tuners keep it rock solid. The finish is a gorgeous Fiesta Red lacquer set off by chrome hardware and white plastic. A really cool looking Strat.

This is perhaps the most authentic strat sound i have ever heard. The neck is straight and the action is Low. The frets are virtually free of any-wear. A real museum Piece and a collectors dream. The pickups deliver variety of tones. All of the electronics work as they should. This is a solid example. COA and original Case included.

This is a killer Strat in an equally killer color. Fiesta Red looks awesome on a Strat and is fairly tough to find. you are limited to the more pedestrian color choices. Here's a cool guitar in a super hip color. Great investmant oppertunity and a chance to own one of the finest guitars ever built.
