(Sold) FERNANDES/FR-DLX 2015 WSB

owner: Shin

2020.5.26: There are often specs with 24 frets, FRT, and full mode sustainer, but there are no maple fretboards at all.
There were a few spot models and the Elite that came out a while ago, but they were all too small in appearance and specs to be the kind of specs I wanted.
This one I just bought has an ash body with a narrowed-down layout and control specs for the sustainer, which is ideal.
It is a sample model of the FR-DLX that came out in 2018, with a SuperDistortion rear PU and a color that was not in the lineup.
Why not use the F-Space or Trembucker standard, as was the Elite?
I heard at the event that the mystery behind the use of SH-4 was that it worked well when the manufacturer developed it, but I have heard from people who work with sustainers in the workshop that this is not the case...
At any rate, the rear PU was probably changed to market it as a spot product.
There is an "A" stamped next to the serial number as evidence of a sample model.
I think the color is white see-through burst, but maybe it is white silver burst because the body edge of the real one is pearl silver.
I was expecting a white burst like the one on G-Life, so I was surprised when I saw it in person...
To be honest, I can't say it's a good one because the neck has a slight waviness and the frets are floating, but it was a sample special price (no manufacturer's warranty), so I bought it at a very low price. I will maintain it moderately and use it.
2020.10.14: The sustainer was transplanted to NTG and the electrical specifications were renewed.
2020.11.11: I sold the FR-ELT after getting some parts for it.
It seems to have gone overseas.
