(ARCHIVE) Fernandes Esquire-Style Partscaster Sunburst c2000
- Description
- Guitarchives
Fernandes Esquire style partscaster, sunburst. This is a cool little guitar. The body is made by Fernandes, as best I can ascertain in Japan in the early 2000s, and is an original Esquire style body made from alder with no neck pickup route and a belly carve. It's got a practical six saddle bridge and a Dr Gas single coil pickup. The neck is an Allparts modern C job, finished in light satin and blessed with a bone nut and Kluson tuners. It adds up nicely in the hands: it's quick and slick to play and the body is super resonant. The tone is chiming and snappy with a nice warm midrange growl and a punchy low end... frankly, it sounds great. It's a bit of a weird one, but it's certainly a lot of fun and a great platform for your own modding misadventures.
