Despite its high production figures, Fernandes is better known in the United States for its Sustainer system, which uses electromagnetism[1] to vibrate a string for an extended period, so long as the user continues to fret a note.[2] Unlike the similar manual E-Bow sustainer, the Fernandes Sustainer can be used with a standard plectrum, because the sustainer is imbedded in the body of guitar. Fernandes' custom shop has installed numerous Sustainers into guitars built by other manufacturers.
Fernandes continued to manufacture guitars, that cover the range from inexpensive starter models to custom instruments. In 2000, Fernandes made a guitar to promote the video gameUmJammer Lammy, similar to Lammy's guitars.

Fernandes Guitar Serial Number Dating ServiceWhy Burny Les Paul´s ?. Because in my opinion they are the best high quality LP´s you can by today, without getting ruined. Off course there are the Tokai´s and Grecos´s, but when you compare features and prices, you will find, that you will get much more for your money when buying a Burny. This is true from a playerâs point of view, but it is not always true from a collectorâs point of view. Today Tokai and Grecos are the must collectable, but this may change tomorrow. I have noticed, that in the last year prices have gone up a lot. A year ago on E-bay you could easily buy a plaintop 1983-85 RLG 50 for 350-400 $, today they sell for 700-800 $ and if you want to by one from a dealer in Europe, You will have to pay 800-900 $. But even if you pay these prices, you wonât find many guitars which give you more value for money. Just look at what you get: A solid good quality mahogany back (often 2 piece. But sometimes 3) A one piece mahogany neck (often with a separate neck cap) Two piece solid centred, sometimes very nicely figured maple top Quality Gotoh Kluson style tuners A nice rosewood board Thin poly finish Nickel hardware Fret binding Weight around 4.2 kilo Very good Fernandes pickups Correct headstock and neck angle Before I discuss the different models, I will tell a little about myself. I am 57 years old, and Iâm Danish, living in Denmark, north of Copenhagen. I have been playing guitar since my early teens, professionally while at university and semi prof. later on. Today Iâm a semi-amateur guitar player, playing country rock, or backing a Swedish female singer, when not working as a senior advisor for the government. I have always been collecting, selling and buying guitars, and I have made a lot of mistakes buying and selling original Fender and Gibsons. I have owned original 62 Stratocasters and an original 1959 sunburst Les Paul flametop. I sold that to a band mate in 1968 for what today is equal to 500$, because he was a better lead player than I was!! He still has that Les Paul!! I have just sold my 1966 Gibson ES 345 and my original 1958 les Paul junior. I used to gig with these guitars, but today they are replaced with a Burny SA 100, a Burny junior and the 1980 FLG 240/150. They are simply better guitars, and for the price of the two Gibsons I can by 10 Burnys, and a new car!! Comments are closed.
