Hello. First of all excuse me if my english has some mistakes. I'm from Spain.
I've been visiting this site in the last two months as a guest. Thank God there is a place like this. I believe this is the place where you need to go if you really want useful and accurate information about these lovely japanese guitars, so my most sincere congratulations to all the people who takes care of this site, and to all the regular members.
There I go...
I recently have bought a Fernandes Super Grade (my very first japan copy guitar). As you probably have read a billion times, I am the typical case of someone who buys a Burny/Fernandes and would like to date the guitar with your help and expert eyes.
Reading some topics I believe is from the 90's, but I'm not sure. The pick-ups have an sticker sayin "VH-1", but we all know that this doesn't mean they are VH-1...
The body seems to me like a 2-piece. The mahogany is more brown than red.
It weights truly a lot: 5 kg (I believe this is equal to 10 pounds in english system)
There's a serial number stamped on the neck pick up cavity, but you must be some kind of Indiana Jones lookin' for clues to be able to know what these guys at Fernandes wrote there :roll:
The logo says Fernandes, and not Burny. Do you know what this means?. Is this guitar an export model or something like that?.
Has the fret edge binding and, maybe a medium tenon?
I'm not a collector, I buy my guitars for the way they sounds. And this Fernandes sounds just incredible. I have a lot of friends with Gibsons so I have had the opportunity to compare, and everybody agree this Fernandes sounds better.
I'm going to try to put the photos here...hope it works :roll:
Any help will be much appreciated.
