Forgive the typos...I'm all thumbs on this thing..
So I've been considering a sustainer-equiped guitar for some time, as part of my working through the King Crimson scores.
I had originally assumed I'd fit one to an existing guitar, or buy a sustainer-armed Burny, but the former option was fraught with challenges, from the research I've done, and the latter, not my favourite option to start with (I don't need Backup Les Paul no.2) was only really an option secondhand from Japan.
So when this little beauty came up, it stuck in my brain like a splinter.Not a bargain, but now it's arrived, I can see that it is great condition (zero buckle rash!) with only very fine signs of superficial wear and some usual fretboard maintenance required.
The previous owner seems to have set this up decked and has looked after it really well. Now there's an original NOS Kahler 2200 in my stock of parts that's itching to go on this....
Anyway, enjoy: a pristine Fernandes Monterrey Elite. Specs as follows:
Construction: set-neck
Body: Mahogany, with a carved Canadian flame Maple top
Neck: Mahogany
Fretboard: Ebony
Purfling and inlay: Abalone
Scale: 24.75"
Pickups: Seymour Duncan SH-4JB (bridge), Fernandes Sustainer (neck)
Hardware: gold plated
Tuners: Gotoh locking
Bridge: Tune-o-matic
Nut: Graphtec
Original case included.
