Cool 80's Fernandes

[straycat]

Had this one in for a set up and good cleaning and what a great strat.
Revival series after Fender got on to them over the headstocks. F03 are the first numbers so thinking 83?

I remember those. They're really nice copies.

Nice axe...were these made by Tokai?

It needs two more lipstick pups!

Here's my Fernandes LE-1. Same era but she's a dead ringer for a '62 Strat.

Sweet. I always remember almost wanting to buy one. If I had the money, I probably would have. That was back when I owned my first MIJ Strat which I traded for my Model 3A when they first came out.

I bought that LE-1 for $125 at GC about 10 years ago and if they had a dozen, I would have taken them all.
