I have a Retrorocket from their Custom Shop. It's easily one of the best superstrats I've ever played. I don't think their CS is around anymore?

That Ravelle is incredibly beautiful. I also love the EMG 60 in the neck. I could take or leave the others though.
Thanks for the feedback guys

Fernandes custom shop is only available in Japan. Unlike ESP though you won't see bulk loads of 2nd hand customs as they are quite small.

mm, not a fan of V-shaped guitars, but those vortexes made me 
I like that Ocean Camo Ravelle, but I would Fernandes would put the Sustainer in all their guitars, not just the Elites.
Believe it or not, a lot of people don't want the Sustainer. Their 'Deluxe' models which are identical to the 'Elite' minus the sustainer actually sell better for whatever reason. Some people would just rather have the EMG 60 or Seymour Duncan '59/Jazz in the neck than the Sustainer. I'm not one of them personally, but I understand.
However, the Deluxes being $849-899 and then paying $100 more for the Elite version w/ sustainer is pretty cool considering how much the sustainer kit sells for separately - pretty good deal.
That Ravelle is gorgeous
It sure is. It's killing me to have it sitting there in the box and not being able to play it

Why not? Because they are already promised to a customer or something? I really doubt you will mess it up or something.
I really like both of the single cut designs, especially the Ravelle it's classy, but not boring.
I wish Kenny Hickey was still using Fernandes, last time I checked he was with Schecter. I'd love to see a new Fernandes sig from him.

Mm, I like them. I had a Vortex at one point, and it was a pretty cool guitar. Too bad they have licensed Floyds though, even if it did stay in tune pretty well. The sustainer is pretty awesome indeed, I need to get an another guitar with one eventually. I have an Ebow too, and it's useful for some things, but it can't do stuff like chords, which are really fun with the sustainer.
Yeah Mike. Type O Negative is my all-time favorite band, so Kenny is what prompted me to check out Fernandes back in 1999 when I was a newbie. I picked up a Fernandes Revolver Elite in silver whiich was my first nice guitar I ever had, it's what I pretty much learned guitar on.
It awesome, I wish I still had that. I took it to Guitar Center one day to try out some amps, and this random Japanese dude saw me playing it and came over to me and offered me $1000 cash for it on the spot, unsolicited (which was way more than it was worth). Being 17 and broke I took him up on it, with the idea that I'd be able to find another one on eBay. I never saw one pop up ever again in that finish.
Did the Fryette 2/90/2 show up ok?
I just don't want to play them. I have them for sale on eBay and as much as I'd love to jam out on these, I'd rather keep them as new/fresh as possible. I did play the Vortex and Monterey a bit, and got a feel for the other ones feel when I was taking the photos
Yeah the sustainer is really amazing. I may install one in the neck of one of my Caparisons. And yea the floyd on the Vortex seems fine to me so far.
Yeah. They occasionally have a special limited MIJ model, but they usually go for like $3000.

The Monterey ocean camo looks sweet as hell. The inlays are awesome too!
Hey European dudes, I just got a question on eBay regarding the dark red satin Vortex, and the guy said this:
"Witam. Czy ta gitara posiada przetworniki aktywne EMG 81 i EMG 60/czy 85?
Na stronie producenta jest set 81/85 - st?d to pytanie"
Does anyone have the slightest clue what the hell that means? It says he's from "Wielka Brytania" which sounds like Great Britain to me but...
