In light of some suggestions here i have collected 20 photos from the 'net of what are advertised as "Cunetto" relics - every single one that has a rosewood board has the straight join - that is not period correct and would have taken 2 minutes to correct with a drum sander, there is evn 1 guitar where the tuner holes have been drilled about 1/4 of an inch too far awayfrom the headstock - not a big deal you might say - i say it is bexcause there is only 1 company who make that error and they are a licensed fender aftermarket neck and body supplier and they selll the necks for 180 dollars - and i am pretty sure this is one of their necks on this coveted 5 grand Cunetto - kings new clothes spring to mind when i hear this name becoming legendary. Don't think I've made many friends here but I am only saying it is as it is. In short - the "Cunettos" that i have seen in photos are not accurate and again there is no reason they should have got those details wrong except for keeping costs down yet they ask a high price for the product - it is ironic they feel the need to stamp the word "relic" all over the inside of the body and neck because if there is anyone who could be fooled to pay 20,000 pounds for that thinking it is a real 1960 guitar then .... well ... cabbage springs to mind.
