Fernandes RST-50 64
owner:
T.S
Strat model of Fernandes' THE REVIVAL series manufactured in the 1980s.
I bought it used at a recycle store.
The description of the past catalogs on Fernandes' website shows that it is a faithful reproduction of Fender's '64 Stratocaster.
The fretboard has a tight R. Easy to play, but it will take some time to get used to it.
3-piece alder body made in USA! This is one of the old time models with a price tag of 50,000 yen, which is impossible to find nowadays.
August 30, 2013 Tremolo springs changed to RAW VINTAGE 5 springs for better raw sound and more sustain.

| sound features | Nice "jaki jaki" feeling...THE Strat ! I bought this Strat because I wanted this kind of sound. Pickups are probably L-5000. I did not do any modifications to the pickup because it seems to be particular about pots, switches, and other assemblies, and I did not feel comfortable to modify it a little. |
