Guitar information

Fernandes originally made very good les paul strat type copies, the copies caused a bit of a stir this was mainly down to the fact they were made by the folks at the Fuji-Gen Gakki factory in Japan. this is where the top end Ibanez Prestige and Team-J-Craft guitars are made, as well as the Vai Signature JEM and Universe guitars.  So they know their stuff.  Once Fernandez made a name for themselves, they quickly released a range of guitars of their own design , including this handsome beast, the FR-65.

My Thoughts

Its a little know guitar by what was then a little known company but its up there with any top ibanez perhaps because they were all made in the same factory ?.
