USED FERNANDES / FJB-65 SB [12]

An early version of the Japan Vintage, FJB-65 is now in stock!
Based on the shape of the head logo and maple fretboard, we have determined that this FJB-65 was manufactured around 1977.
The catalog of the time shows it in white with pearloid block inlays on the neck binding, so we think it is an out-of-catalog spec.

The wood specs of the 3-piece Sen body and maple neck/fingerboard, together with the head logo design, recreate the atmosphere of a 70s JB.

Overall, there is very little use of the instrument, and it is in very good condition with almost no deterioration of metal parts except for the pegs, which are in very good preservation condition.
The original hard case FJB-1, which was sold separately at the time, is also included.
This is a rare vintage guitar that is in relatively good condition and should be added to any vintage Japan fan's collection.

The bridge, bridge cover, pickup fence, control plate, and other metal parts are in very clean condition, although the pegs show some age-related deterioration such as tarnishing and chrome peeling.
Overall, there are some minor scratches and dings, but considering the year of manufacture, the appearance of the instrument is in good condition with very little signs of use.
The truss rod has a little room to tighten and the frets are low, but the neck is in good condition and there are no problems with playability.
The neck is in good condition and there are no playability problems.
Item Rank: B+: Some scratches, but no problem in normal use.
