    My very first guitar was a Fernandes Dragonfly back in 2004. My dad got it for me at a pawn shop.

    I think MusicYo used to sell Fernandes. I was tempted to get the Revolver with the Floyd and a sustainer because it was only around $260. But I already had the Kramer Baretta with a sustainer. Fernandes had sveral models that came with sustainers. They even had one that was similar to the Kramer Focus that MusicYo sold. I've wanted a Burny for years. I want the LP copy with the Floyd and sustainer but they're out of my price range.

    Still diggin' that Burny "Luper Prade" you sold me. After a few upgrades it plays fantastic especially for the money. Cheers.

    If you're interested in la80kk, it's Ken's signature guitar. He's a lead guitarist in a japanese band called Lark en Ciel. Driver's High. Check that track

    Had two Fernandes guitars many years ago. Candy Apple Red T type and a 1959 replica LP in faded lemon burst with Fernandes (not Burny) on the headstock. Both made in Japan. Wonderful guitars and I still really miss that Super Grade LP more than 20 years later.

    I have a Fernandes FRT-95PT. It’s Akira’s from Plastic Tree signature guitar. It’s a Washburn N4 copy, it even has a Bill Lawrence L-500 and 59N. It plays and sounds amazing, Fernandes made some amazing quality guitars.

    @vinniesworld459 6 місяців тому

    Nice collection you got there! The late Hide (of X-Japan) signature model used to be a childhoold dream - until I found out that its a Mockingbird clone lol. I still have a few Ravelles - one is due for a refret.

  • @polymorphism1966
    @polymorphism1966 6 місяців тому +2

    Closest guitar to a strat, I believe Kirk Hammett used one when started out.

  • @AndrewAHayes
    @AndrewAHayes 6 місяців тому +1

    I never saw a Fernandes until i started watching your channel, we don't see these at all in the UK.
    I saw a Strat copy on your channel that had a gloss red neck that matched the neck and body, that guitar was dope!
    A great pity that they went under!

    The Ravelle is one sexy beast of a guitar. I had one. Had to sell it. I had put a Black Winter in the bridge and something else nice (forget what) in the neck. Both done up with hex poles. It was heavy. Those things are deceptively thick guitars. Sustain for days even without the Sustainiac system.

  • @michaelj.742
    @michaelj.742 6 місяців тому

    I love Japanese made guitars! I have a few made in Japan Ibanez and Aria basses,but I dont see Fernandes too often.I would buy one,they look and sound great!

  • @Releasethebats123

    Ive never owned a Fernandes guitar but always thought they looked nice. I’m definitely going to buy a burny LP copy for sure now

  • @skylineXpert

    I wonder whether the sustainer systems will stay.
    But as sustainiac in particular & veyz will still be around then...

    The problem with Fernandes they didn't have many western artist promoting the brand. Most people probably thought Fernandes was just a entry level brand.

    • @mattdylan664
      @mattdylan664 6 місяців тому +2

      in fact a LOT of famous guitarists from every genre played Fernades guitars, Robert Fripp of King Crimson , both Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo from Metallica, Kurt Cobain from Nirvana, Neal Schon of Journey , Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, The Edge from U2, Brad Gillis from Night Ranger, who also played with Ozzy, Dave Kushner of Velvet Revolver,Tobias Forge of Ghost. thing is not all of them were endorsed by Fernandes nor had artist model guitars from them , all the same they were renown for being a great value for the price and good enough for many famous rockers to play

  • @mortonwilson795

    This is a bit of a blow - I have been keen on grabbing their LP style with Sustainer . . . the pressure is now on, then!

      Interestingly enough, Paul Gilbert has an acoustic song called Flamingo because it’s “not quite flamenco”. Impressive tune, nonetheless.
