A 1997 Fender Custom Shop "John Page" 1960 Stratocaster Relic (famously featuring aging by Vince Cunetto and a Certificate of Authenticity signed by then-Custom Shop manager John Page) is valued between $6,100 CAD and $9,500+ CAD in Canada.
The broad range depends heavily on the rarity of the finish (with custom colors fetching premium rates), physical condition, and the presence of the original case candy and signed COA. Because these early "Cunetto-era" relics are highly sought after by collectors, they command a premium over standard pre-owned Custom Shop guitars.
