Hi - new poster here - any Cunetto Relic owners here? I've been buying them since '97; I noticed the difference when Fender moved the operation in house and I quit buying the new relics, I was always on the lookout for the ones with the "branded" logo on the headstock.
I was chatting up one of the sales reps at NAMM in '96 when they debuted the line; I thought it was cool they had a vintage 'nocaster and Mary Kay at the booth and upon hearing the rep tell me "no, that's our new line, we age them to look old!" I told him that was the stupidest thing I ever heard and walked away...until I played one a year later and now look what's happened...
'nocaster
Mary Kay
Seafoam Green w/ gold hardware
Sonic Blue w/ nickel hardware
Fiesta Red / gold
Shoreline Gold / gold
50's twotone s/b / nickel
Burgundy Mist / gold
60's threetone s/b / nickel
Lake Placid Blue / gold
