Would you grab a Fernandes Burny Custom 1970 for $400?

[Piing]

I am tempted.

 

[Texsunburst59]

Sure, why not.

It definitely looks the 70’s part.

I’d rather pay $400 for this MIJ guitar, than $300-$400 for all the cheap Chinese guitars everyone brags about

 

[-BOOGIEMAN-]

I would simply for the unique factor…

 

[DrewJD82]

YES!!!!!

I’ve been looking at a bunch of 70’s MIJ Fenders lately, really, you’re getting what Fender SHOULD have been making in the 70’s by buying an MIJ! And man, it’s crazy the condition so many are still in!

How much for little starfish??






(Yes, I would definitely be interested in the guitar for that price!)

 

[SillyOctpuss]

'76 made burny mij strat for $400? It would be rude not to. Might be a boat anchor but should be very well made and easy to move on if its not for you.

Change of plan

This Friday I will go to see this Fender Japan Big Headstock for $500
It has some upgrades, like Jumbo SS frets, Gotoh Tuners, Graphtech nut

Hell yeah, man!!!!!!

I think I might look into one of these for my Mars/Holmes project I eventually want to put together. Nothing shitty comes out of Japan!

A lot of shitty stuff used to come out of Japan though. Worst guitar I ever owned was an Epiphone EA250 from 70s, unbelievably bad Pos.

That’s just cuz it was an Epiphone.

The arc of Japanese manufacturing from the 1960s to the 1980s is mind blowing.

When I see a big headstock and the 3-bolt neck joint I smell Blackmore

Not sure. The seller doesn't know which model or year it is. Can you identify it?

 

[Eagle]

A 72 reissue from 2005 with replacement pickups,switch and volume pot.

 

[FuzzyAce]

I'd be tempted to grab both.

I'd redo all that wiring. Whoever did the changes was sloppy. Look at those solder joints on the switch.
