  • Here's a review of my Fernandes FST-55. A very 80s styled guitar. I believe it is from the early 90s (some sources say around 1989 though). Info on these guitars are rather sketchy, so I hope this video will give you a bit more info about this Japanese gem of a guitar.

      To be fair, I readjust the pickup heights after the video shoot… the pickups sound a lot better now though…

    Beautiful guitar!! You may already be aware of this, but Fernandes had a limited run of Allan Holdsworth tribute Charvel-styled guitars, search up the Fernandes STC-50, I think those are THE closest to a San Dimas Charvel without breaking the bank, lol. I happen to own one in red, and it's great. Fernandes guitar are really bang for the buck, seriously! Nice review.

      I did see a Fernandes Alan Holdsworth charvel clone online once but never knew the model number. Thanks for the info! I just looked it up and it’s nice! The scale length isn’t like Alan’s Charvel though. But the wiring and single pick up is enticing! Cool guitar you have! I’d probably grab one if the chance arises here too!

      @@LKWong yeah the scale length and rosewood fretboard is the biggest difference, but I personally don't see it as a big deal breaker. I've always wanted a San Dimas era Charvel without having to spend the money people are asking for them, so I think these particular guitars are very close to those. There's also some Jackson Soloist copies Fernandes made like the Fernandes STJ-75. Fernandes make some seriously high-grade guitars for a much lower price and I love that!

      Hi, I think they’re very well made. I’ve been liking it a lot since I’ve gotten it. But you may wanna upgrade the original bridge to a double locking system. The original bridge doesn’t stay in tune if you’re a whammy bar player

      Yes a little bit thinner than a Fender Strat.

      @hayatot8610 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Appreciate it. But more specifically, if you were to put the FST-55 in a Fender Strat hardshell case, would it be smaller than a Strat body? (Smaller Asian guy here 😊)
