USED FERNANDES / FST-70 Black Sunburst Maple 1977 [10]

The serial number suggests it was made in 1977. It is the current 70s style Stratocaster type model at that time.

In 1977, 3 years after Fernandez released the Stratocaster type, the one-piece maple neck, which had not been realized due to strength issues, was released as a new model using well-seasoned wood. The sound had changed, and pickups were newly developed.

The logo also uses a font reminiscent of the F Company logo, as if it were a generous Japanese copy of the old model, bringing back the spirit of the late 70's. The truss rod has been adjusted in both directions, and the pickups have been newly developed.

The truss rod is in good condition with room to spare in both directions, but the frets are generally worn out.

The pickups and other major parts have not been modified or replaced, and are believed to be original.
There are some scratches and dents, but the guitar is in relatively clean condition considering its age.

Neck condition is as is.
There is enough room for truss rod.
Fretboard has a few frets left.
