Here we're looking at a Fender CS 60's Jazz Bass Cunetto Relic Sunburst from 1966, built in Corona but reliced at Cunetto's shop in Bolivar, Missouri. An important identifying detail is that the Custom Shop logo is impressed into the back of the head rather than being a decal.
This exceptional bass features an Alder body paired with a Maple neck and slab-type Indian Rosewood fingerboard as Fender did until mid-1962, when machinery to apply a veneer fingerboard to a pre-crowned Maple neck was introduced. The electronic layout follows the second version of the Jazz Bass, with individual volume controls and a master tone control, as distinct from the concentric volume/tone pots of the initial release. The finish on both the body and neck is Nitrocellulose lacquer.
This Fender CS 60's Jazz Bass Cunetto Relic is in very good and original condition with very light wear - aside from the relic treatment. Fret wear is very light, and the bass is very resonant and comfortable to play.
The original rectangular G&G brown hard shell case is included. It is in good condition but the center latch is broken.
Vince Cunetto was hired by John Page and JW Black at Fender as an outside contractor during 1994 or 1995 to create distressed - reliced - versions of Stratocasters, then Telecasters, and up to 200 Jazz Basses. This arrangement finally ended in 1999. That history is discussed in some detail in this linked Guitar.com article, well worth the read.
