Normally, i try to keep my GAS in control when it comes to imported instruments. But i can't, these are beautiful.

My favorite model. But i love them all. The quilt on most of them are simply insane. They sound great too. Youtube told me so! Somebody buy me one.

These look sweet, too. http://www.fernandesguitars.com/products/guitars/retrorocket.html

The one i'd buy, probably. http://www.fernandesguitars.com/products/guitars/dragonfly.html

Yeah, it seems they've come along way since
I bought mine. A mid 80's strat copy. I've loved it
from the start but recently put an updateg Fernandes
neck on it an routed it for a bucker. Have a JB in there
with Texas Specials in the mid & neck. I absolutely love
this guitar & will never sell it. Fernandes rule.


Peace,

Darrin
 
Re: Fernandes guitars are stunning.

I had a Ravelle Deluxe and never gelled with it. A shame too... I really dug its shape. It was a solid guitar, but my Agile AL-3000 played and sounded better.

IMHO, they were better back in the 80's and 90's when all they were making Fender copies. They and Tokai were really helping to keep Fender's prices a little more in check. That is, until Fender was able to get both companies to stop the copies....

I have 2 Fernandes Revolver SH-65s MIJ from mid to late 80s. Excellent super strats with licensed Floyds. Very underrated and I prefer them over some MIJ Kramers and Ibanez guitars from that era.

Glad I have my '03 Ravelle Deluxe.
When they used Duncans instead of EMGs.
And less gawdy.

they are about as good as anything else produced by that factory in china.

Only the lower end models are made in China and maybe Indonesia. There's some top notch Japanese made ones, but the majority are only for the Japanese market. That's about to change as they are beginning to import those here later on in the year. The Deluxe retrorocket models I know are made in Korea, which is as bit as good as other high end guitars for a fraction of the price. Although, still over a grand for some of the higher end models, they are still a bargain. I mean, where can you get a swamp ash body with a set neck strat style guitar for a very reasonable price?
