Fernandes TEJ Limited Edition help

[atf]

I bought this for 60 bucks at a pawn shop, works great and sounds open and clear at high gain settings. It has Gotoh tuners, but I can't ID this mofo, there is no serial number on the back plate , it only says Fernandes. I got nothing to go with here.

P.S yeah I have an Indo board.I know lol.

How do you know their high ouput? Measured them I assume?

Also, Pull off the neck and see if theres any dating in there. Al I can see is it is a TEJ Standard-2S (http://www.fernandes.co.jp/products/tej-standard-series.html)

Looks like for $60 you got a pretty sweet deal.

Re: Fernandes TEJ Limited Edition help

fernandes made a bunch of TEJs from the late 80s to the late 90s, yours seems to be the basic model - the TEJ-70 or 75 depending on the year of manufacture.
I can't see really well on your photo but if the pickups are marked "fernandes" then they are the original F.G.I single coils which are really good!

Re: Fernandes TEJ Limited Edition help

To play it safe im gonna say its a TEJ 45 90s era with DS pickups whatever that is. I did a comparison with another tele that has a dimarzio tone king in the neck and the tk win on fatness by a bit, but tone and clarity was about the same.

Re: Fernandes TEJ Limited Edition help

Opened her up and bam!

You can barely see that it says TEJ 45

No dates, headstock suggests 85-87. Intuition and some research suggests between 91-95

Bridge pickup,no cover,ceramic magnet , very well made,definitely not cheap far eastern junk.

The bridge pickup without the cover. Definitely not cheap far eastern OEM

Opened the neck and it says TEJ 45. You can barely see it

Headstock suggests 85-87. I think it may be later though.
