Description Body Material: MAHOGANY / MAPLE TOP Body Type: Solid Brand: FERNANDES Dexterity: Right-Handed Model Year: 1991 Body Color: Blue (STB) Model: FRE-85 MPN: Does Not Apply String Configuration: 6 String Size: Full Size Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan
THIS IS A 1991 FERNANDES FRE-85 WOLFGANG STYLE GUITAR. IT HAS A FOUR WIRE VH-7 HUMBUCKING "SINGLE" COIL PU IN THE N. POSITION AND A VH-5 "BROWN SUGAR" (NOT VH-6) FOUR WIRE HUMBUCKER IN THE BR. POSITION (WHICH ALLOWS FOR A WIDE RANGE OF CUSTOM WIRING OPTIONS), 24.75" SCALE, 24 FRET ROSEWOOD NECK, MAHOGANY BODY W/ LAMINATED QUILTED MAPLE SLAB TOP, GOTOH TUNERS, 3 POS. TOGGLE SELECTOR, SINGLE VOL / TONE POTS AND FLOYD ROSE LIC. BR.
THIS GUITAR WAS PRODUCED FOR THE 1991 MODEL YEAR ONLY. BY THE END OF THE MODEL YEAR IT HAD BEEN REPLACED BY THE APG-80 WHICH ALTHOUGH ALMOST IDENTICAL FROM THE OUTSIDE WAS A MORE CHEAPLY PRODUCED GUITAR. I BELIEVE THE MAPLE SLAB WAS TRADED FOR A VENEER, THE "BROWN SUGAR" WAS TRADED FOR A VH-4 AND IT WAS GIVEN A 25.5" SCALE. THESE CAN BE DISTINGUISHED VISUALLY BY THE NECK JOINT AT THE 22nd FRET NOT THE 21st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
THIS GUITAR PLAYS GREAT AND SOUNDS FANTASTIC BUT, DOES NOT COME WITH A TREM. ARM.I WILL PACK THIS IN A GUITAR BOX (SHIPPER) WELL PADDED WITH SOFT FOAM AND BUBBLE WRAP.
PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM!
