Cunetto / John Cruz New Old Stock Fender Custom Shop Maple Strat Neck

This one is truly unique! I can safely say you will not see a piece like this again. Here we have a highly collectable and rare piece from Fender Custom Shop's golden era. I will not dive too deep in the brief time Vincent Cunetto impacted FCS, if you're reading this listing I'm sure you already know.
 
For a brief time in the mid 90’s FCS‘s license to spray nitro-cellulose lacquer was at risk due to new EPA laws. This lead to a very short stint shipping parts to Missouri, to a then relatively unheard of Vincent Cunetto. Vince and his team were "aging" parts in Missouri for what was to become FCS's "Relic" line. Before this time the word "relic" meant little to the guitar world, but would become synonymous with Fender Custom Shop.
 
From 1996 to 1998 Vincent Cunetto and his team in Bolivar Missouri painstakenly aged Fender parts, shipped them back to California (more on this later) to be assembled and sold under FCS's new "Relic" line. Touted for their figuring, using only the best of the best in tone wood. Branded with the iconic Embossed FCS logo on back of headstock. These masterpieces are the cream of the crop from a very special era in Fender History. 
 
Cunetto and his team did not assemble the guitars, that portion was done back in California by some of the now famous builders (i.e. John Cruz). I note this because, what makes this neck rare is this one comes in the original box and covering clothe it originally shipped to Missouri in. This neck has never been mounted, nor fitted with tuners or a string tree. Original nut is uncut. This is a true Gem! With no fret wear whatsoever. This one is number 2 of only 6 made.
 
This piece comes from the estate of a well known OEM, this rare uncirculated; unused Cunetto/John Cruz highly figured birds eye maple neck with the original Fender Unfinished Neck box is a once in a lifetime find.
 
If you are looking to restore a John Page Era, Cunetto Custom Shop Strat, preserve its value and collectibility this is your chance. This piece is for a very specific buyer. If you read this far, thank you for riding along for this short but sweet FCS history lesson. If this stuff instrest you as much as it does me, I recommend you read the article on Vincent Cunetto on Fuzzfaced dot net.
