FERNANDES RST-50 1964 REPLICA EARLY 1981 "THE REVIVAL" STUNNING EXAMPLE.PERFECT NECKBEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENT
NO FRET BUZZ-PREFECTLY STRAIGHT NECK
3.5KG
SEATTLE USA SOURCED ALDER BODY,BEAUTIFULLY FIGURED ROSEWOOD FINDERBOARD (BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD?-SHORT GRAIN AND SAME COLOURING)
THE VERY EARLY FERNANDES "REVIVAL" INSTRUMENTS LIE THIS EXAMPLE WERE MADE BY KOWAI (FAMOUS FOR GRAND PIANOS...) AND THESE FIRST FERNANDES REVIVALS WERE ALL HAND FORMED/ROUTED-NO CNC WORK
THE FERNANDES REVIVAL REPLICA'S ARE THE MOST ACCURATE OUT OF ALL THE JAPANESE JV PERIOD INSTRUMENTS IN MY OPINION (EVEN THE TREMOLO BLOCKS ARE PAINTED GREY AS PER ACTUAL FENDER'S FROM THE PERIOD!!)
AFTER KOWAI, TOKAI TOOK OVER PRODUCTION (LATE 81?)AND FROM THE "L" SERIES (1984)ANOTHER OEM MAKER WAS USED
CHECK OUT THE BEAUTIFUL PERIOD CORRECT YELLOW HUE-NOT OFTEN SEEN OUTSIDE ACTUAL MID 60'S STRATS OR HIGH END FENDER CUSTOM SHOP EXAMPLES
THIS GUITAR HAS A PERFECT NECK-NO FRET BUZZ OR CHOKING FROM THE 12TH FRET
OF COURSE BEING A 44 YEAR OLD VINTAGE INSTRUMENT THERE ARE A FEW SCRATCHES/DENTS ETC,BUT THE NECK IS PERFECT,WITH MINIMAL FRET WEAR
OF COURSE EXTRMELY WELL PACKAGED WHEN SENT
