Members Jeffmo Posted August 11, 2009 Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 That looks like a Fernandes Revolver PRO Mid to early 90's probably NOT made in Japan...... The PRO's had the sustainer single coil model(FSK 401's) which this one has PLUS it has a bolt on neck NOT a set neck like the Elite models a nice find though I LOVE the new Fernandes stuff.... fantastic!!

NO, the Retrorocket's are and were always more Fender Strat like.(bodywise)... Fernandes did make Revolvers with only 22 frets back in the 90's they might have been called something else, but they are definitely Revolver bodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Karma1 Posted August 12, 2009 Members Share Posted August 12, 2009 thanks mate, but...i think revolver has 24 frets and reversed headstock... I had a metallic blue Revolver Pro (probably made in late 90's to early 2000's) that didn't have a reversed headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SLbossmom Posted July 12, 2023 Members Share Posted July 12, 2023 I recently acquired a Fernandas Electric guitar serial # 100908 as shown engraved on a silver plate on the neck head of instrument. Upon looking I believe I have found this to be possibly called.. The revival '57 stratocastor 1957 reissue MIJ electric guitar in tobacco burst color/design. Can anyone confirm this and/or give me a amount it may be worth on the common reverb market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted July 18, 2023 Members Share Posted July 18, 2023 Simple: go to Reverb, type in Fernandes strat blah blah blah, and then see what it sold for recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
