Anyone try these Fernandes guitars?

I think these days, the Fernandes's you're likely to come across are the lower end jobs.

 

A friend has a KILLER neck-thru Fernandes Revolver (actually the one used by Type O negative's guitar player in their early era - an awesome guitar, glow-in-the-dark fretmarkers even). It is just amazing, the Sustainer is phenomenal! That is the only Fernandes I've played. Other than that, I know Kirk Hammett played em a p!ssload (before Metallica sucked). Hope this helps.

They are good guitars, but they are made in china which means they could (and should) cost a lot less than what they sell for (the good models sell for 1000 and above which would get you a nice USA made Fender or even a gibson).

 

The lower end models are nice starter guitars, but I would go with epiphone better.

No thanks.

I know a few guys who play them, they're alright - for the price.

I'd rather spend a guitar that's simply alright at any price.

 

I don't support the Chinese manufacture of guitars in any way.

I noticed the price tag on some of the imported Guild acoustics the other day - $2,000 on a Chinese guitar!

No thank you very much!

 

Thanks Fender, for destroying yet another legendary name....

If a guitar played great I wouldn't give a damn about what country it was made.
