That Decade Prototype is VERY intriguing Yeah it's an odd one. I got it for $300 on Ebay and it feels like it was hand made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ravelleman Posted August 12, 2006 Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 One thing Ian forgot to mention is that we do now have input from Fernandes USA again, which is a big step in the right direction. Hopefully now we'll be able to get this forum going once and for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Schleuter Posted August 12, 2006 Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 I had a Hiwatt DC40 distributed by Fernandes, what a piece of {censored} amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members richardson Posted August 12, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 I've never really had any expirience with Hiwatt amps, but then again they don't seem like the kind of amp I'd play anyways. Bump for the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted August 12, 2006 Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 I'm a member over there. But since I only have one Fernandes I don't get over there often (I have a couple Peaveys but don't get over to the Peavey forum often either). But here's a bump.

Members Fusion1 Posted August 12, 2006 Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 Who is Yoshi Guitars, and why is he always selling these vintage Fernandes guitars for cheap when they are better than anything Fernandes makes now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted August 12, 2006 Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 I think the only cool Fernandes guitars were the Revolver Series back in the late 80's. Specifically the neck thru body model that Craig Goldy from Dio was endorsing back then. IIRC it was the FR-120 or something. I think if Fernandes was putting out stuff like that now they'd be more of a player in the world of Ibanez, Schecter, ESP, Jackson etc. That said I have a FR-65 which is like the above neck through only a bolt on version and a Hum/Sing config and I would never part with that guitar. Is Fernandes still based in Japan or have they as well moved manufacturing to Korea or China? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted August 12, 2006 Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 This is also the era of Fernandes at their peak. A guitar l;ike this would be a guitar to hold onto as far as quality craftsmanship and playability. None of the Revolvers now can even compare. Interesting to note in advertising, sometimes like here we see the endorser using a guitar that is clearly different than the one he is associated with. THe guitar he has is more like a strat body, where this is more like a soloist body. You saw the same stuff like that in Jackson/Charvel catalogs in the late 80's/early 90's.
