here is another project im working on. a mid-late 80s fernandes strat copy. i bought this in 1988. it has a lot of miles on it. i have played this guitar more than all my others combined. a few years ago it just couldnt take any more abuse and was stripped of its stuff and left bare naked under the stairs. it came to either throwing it into the fire or re-build it. well i just couldn't torch my old friend. so here we go. a set of scn pickups, 70s "f" style tuners, 2002 vintage 60's re-issue bridge, all new high end pots, switch, orange caps, trebel bleed, bone nut, "f" style neckplate, fret level and crown. also a push/pull for a tone pot so i can turn on the neck bridge when i want. that way i can also get a tele sound. (n+b pup). nitro finish complete with aged yellow look. ill let the relicing happen naturally. i still have the original neckplate with the serial # on it if anybody knows if it means anything. the little research i did says it doesn't.??? anyway heres some pics.
