2011 Vinetto SC50BG Artifact Telecaster-Style Butterscotch Blonde, Excellent, Original Hard, $2,549.00
Vinettos are built of course by Vince Cunetto, former Fender Custom Shop aging master. Vince's Artifact guitars are hard to find either new or used, as I have heard that arthritis is preventing Vince from doing much building these days. This model of course is Vince's take on the "aged" 50's T-style guitar and few folks do it as well. This thing just oozes vintage vibe and it plays and sounds like boutique Nocaster-style guitar that it is. It is very light in weight (just 6.4 lbs.) with its Swamp Ash body, has a nice chunky D/U-shaped neck made of a single piece of quarter-sawn Maple, with depth measurements of .925" at the 1st fret and .985" at the 12th, a 9.5" fretboard radius and medium/tall frets, killer Lollar 52 pickups and a Bakelite pickguard with flat-head screws. This particular Vinetto has only very light aging limited primarily to some of the most realistic finish checking you will find anywhere and some aging of the hardware. How good is this guitar; well let me tell you...I originally bought this guitar new in 2011 and sold it; bought it back again in 2012 and sold it a second time; and just purchased it back from the second owner so that I could offer it for sale yet again! Over the past four years this guitar has been treated with extreme care and it shows little wear beyond a nice finish patina and the aging Vince originally applied. The frets have years of life left in them. Includes it's original tweed G&G case, paperwork and tools. A superb 50's style Tele for the discriminating player....
