posting for a friend who doesn't have internet.

He recently purchased a 1997 Cunnetto Strat relic #R1826. Love the guitar and paid a premium price of $3,999 for a "Cunnetto" but have no documentation at all. Is it a Cunnetto or Cunnetto staff. It has a sticker summer NAMM 1997 sample #3. Is that any clue? Is it unusual being a 1957 relic ...most are '56's. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

ok ,
your friend dropped four large on a strat and doesnt have internet?

I could not say for sure but he sure as hell should of done his homework before dropping 4K on an ax.

Vince Cunnetto being the premier builder of the time, it stands a good chance. Unfortunately without seeing it, or a coa, were not going to get far here.

If I were you mate, I'd post the question on the Ask Mike Eldred section of the forums. He could likely tell you from the serial no' alone.
