Fernandes ZO-3, red, made in Taiwan circa 2000. These Nomad guitars do really well in Japan, there's always a heap of them kicking around over there. It's a fun recipe: full size (24") neck, compact body and headstock, standard pickup and output jack, inbuilt speaker for extra thrills. As per most Fernandes stuff, the neck is great and feels very comfy. At 2.9kg and 82cm long, it'll fit in a suitcase if you're travelling and is easy to sit with on a couch. If you're after a quirky way to keep your practice routine moving, this is a fun solution. The inbuilt speaker sounds filthy, so be mentally prepared for that.
