Another Cunetto Relic on eBay?

Mark Byrom · August 1st, 2005, 07:42 PM

It's a '96 with some really questionable mods. Includes the COA, but no way can you read it from the pics. Looks like it could be made "right" with a little effort. I don't believe the seller knows what he has. Only 6 feedbacks. It'll be interesting to see how this one goes.

Need to see the back of the headstock.

With all those changes it isnt gonna sell for as much as it would if left bone stock.

The pics that show the back of the headstock do show the Custom Shop etched logo. I would guess this is a genuine guitar, but needing a little work.

I believe it's a Cunetto, due to the birdseye, date of manufacture, and if you look closely at this picture there is the CS stamp instead of a decal.

The price is decent if you're into a great playing guitar and don't care whether it's 100% original. First thing I'd do is yank those DiMarzios out of there. YUK!

I have my Cunetto on Ebay, same year, all orginal but without the COA and he's got a higher bid. Is it because he's got the COA? Does it really make that much difference? Are the mods he's done really that desirable? Is it because his is a no reserve auction and people are hoping to get the best deal possible? I'm not griping, I'm expecting a bid jump before the close of the auction. I guess that I'm just surprised and curious.

I think it's because of your 3K buy it now price. People already have an idea of what you want for the guitar. With his, it's still a mystery what he actually wants for it. Therefore, there's still the hope to get the guitar for a lower price than yours.

I have no expectations of actually getting that much, but it doesn't hurt to try and you never know. Sometimes, somebody just has to have it right now no matter what the price. If it doesn't sell this week, there will be a much more realistic Buy It Now.
