Fernandes JG45 Pearl Blue 1999
Fernandes JG45, made in Taiwan 1999, pearl red. These JG series guitars punch well beyond their modest dime and are so much fun to play. Fernandes stuff has done really well in Japan for many decades, but you seldom see them outside Japan. Here we have a pretty cool take on the Jag style offset, but equipped with some 'modern' (for twenty years ago!) sensibilities: a fairly flat radius board, tasty two-point Strat-style trem, 25.5" scale and a pair of moderately hot passive humbuckers. The tone is awesome: heaps of attack and spank, but with a certain thickness through the mids and a punchy low end. It's perfect for big 90s grunge and punk rhythm parts; it eats that stuff for breakfast. The deep blue shimmery finish with matching headstock and guard make for a great look, it will look perfectly at home at your next pool party. Big yes from me!

The front has some scuffs around the bridge and some play wear on the guard and horns. Overall: very good condition (8.5/10).
Playing condition notes: Action is low, neck is straight, intonation is good, truss rod works. The frets have minor wear only, 8/10 for fret life left. All electrics tested and working properly. Setup with fresh 11/49 Moonshiners strings.
