Members FUBTAG Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 Woo hoo! Here's the pic from the ebay auction It was waiting for me at home. I took it out of the box (came with a soft case) and into my car to practice... and it rocked! slap a new set of strings on it an it will be great. It's definitely a keeper. More pics to come. OH YEAH -- and it also qualifies as a New CHEAP Guitar Day... at least I think so.. $150 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a model name/number I can search for other than Fernandes Tele?Contrats man! I was looking for a Peavey tele-type at first.. but then came across this. I lucked out finding this one. I used to have a Fernandes when I was younger (one of the pre-lawsuit ones) and I missed it. This feels just as nice! In terms of looking -- there is no special name or anything. I am told the serial number means little as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JoeBoy Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 Man what a deal. FZ guitars are really underated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thanks man..... It says it's made in Taiwan. I've had two Taiwanese guitars, both Yamahas. The electric (AES 500) was nice but the pups were a tad microphonic. The acoustic is a beater 70's 12-string that sounds like God. I've played it in church, un-mic'd, and could still be heard playing with a band going through a PA! BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues, no 'hot spots', hell.. it's even wonderfully grounded!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FUBTAG Posted February 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 Congrats! Heck of a price, too! Weird story here -- I bid on the guitar - was outbid - received 2nd chance offer - counter offered with what I was willing to pay and it was accepted - and then received this..... and I NEVER respond to 2nd chance offers. The last 3 guitars I bought have been hugely pleasant surprises!!!! Does anyone treat their rosewood fretboards? I want to clean the whole guitar, and the fretboard is first!! (you never know who picked their nose and then played the guitar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChihliDog Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 I've heard 7 million different things about treating rosewood boards, from lemon oil to OLIVE oil to all kinds of other crap, and Ive heard terrible things about treeating it with each and every thing that has been thrown out there.
