In-Tune Magazine Oct 1985

"On the BLUE SUEDE MUSIC stand along with Tokai was their newly acquired FERNANDES line, including the long awaited Alembic copy which, some would have it, rivals the real thing. It's not cheap (possibly around £1,400), but it is good! Fernandes generally are looking like becoming the prestige copy range from Blue Suede. Still with the same crew, watch for the 'original BILL LAWRENCE' pickup range, now being made in West Germany and in the shops very soon, likewise the re-emergence of the legendary HIWATT range - all valve powered and undergoing a lot of development from the Hiwatt/Blue Suede team. The bass amps (always among the world's finest valve bass types) remain the same, but the pre-amp stage of the Hiwatt lead amps is being changed to allow a 'looser' feel with better distortion/overload 'breathing', especially at lower volumes. Good to see Hiwatt back, isn't it? With luck, new models should be on the market within a couple of months."

I’m not aware of Tokai making thru necks, so I guess not all stone logo guitars were made by Tokai?

Fernandes Stratocaster Neckthrough Guitar

1978 Fernandes Stratocaster Neck-Through
There are None of these in Circulation

AlienXnation™ Has Over 50 Vintage Artist Model Guitars in Stock - AlienXnation™ Since 2004

This is a 1978 Fernandes neck-through stratocaster made at the famous Matsumoku Factory Japan. Its an artist model made for a Japanese artist and manufactured in very few numbers. The Matsumoku made versions of this model are seldom seen yet highly collectible and identified by the rear control cavity shape and a number of other indicators.

Its common knowledge that Fernandes outsourced their guitar making in the 1970s. Factories like Tokai, Kawai and Matsumoku helped Fernandes make their mark in the world of guitar sales with models just like this.

Over the years very few neck-through stratocaster type guitars have been produced. Fernandes "Stone Logo" era guitars are well known to have captured the vintage tone that we all seek with their bolt on versions of the classics that they released in the late seventies. With this guitar we have a successful example of vintage mojo with the added feel and sustain of neck-through engineering.

This guitar is in perfect operating condition. The robust truss rod has been turned left-to-right. Every operation of the guitar and all the hardware has been tested and there are no issues. Its ready to play upon arrival to you.

This guitar has been aged naturally by 3-1/2 decades of careful use. The previous owner took great care of this guitar and the small cosmetic imperfections add to the magic of this guitar.
