Gathering examples of these Burny Custom Fernandes guitars with the CBS heads.

They seem to date to somewhere in 1973(?) to 1976 and overlap with the spaghetti logo version.

There were two types of serial numbers during this early period as explained by Shredder69 (Big thanks to him).

The first type had the year as the first digit followed by a number count. (Y####).

The second type had the year followed by day and month (YDDMM).

FERNANDES FST-70 mod YS 1975 PU Electric Guitar

Description

From the specifications, it seems to be the FST-70 made around 1975. It is a lower model of the [Burney Custom] series that reproduces the specifications of ST at that time in the 70's before the production of the revival series started.
The bridge PU has been replaced with an external product of unknown brand model, and some circuit parts have been replaced. The truss rod works well, but the frets are significantly worn out, and it needs to be modified, including replacement, for practical use. The tremolo panel, arm, and case are out of stock and only the main body is handed over. It weighs about 4.6 kg.
