FERNANDES FST-90H dual-humbucker model. This is an extremely rare model that appeared only in the 1983 catalogue, featuring an alder body, a maple neck and a striped ebony fingerboard.
The pickups are original models characterised by large pole pieces, delivering the long sustain and high-powered sound demanded by the 1980s rock scene.
It is equipped with the original HEADBANKER bridge, which supports tremolo arm up/down action, and features a locking nut for stable tuning.
There are numerous scratches and dents scattered throughout the body, and the hardware shows signs of tarnish. The truss rod is fully loosened, and the neck shows some waviness and twisting, but there is no fret buzz or muffled sound. While it shows signs of use, it has been fully serviced and cleaned and playability is excellent. The tremolo arm is included, but installation requires the assembly of internal parts.
