nawala ang reply ko... anyways ill repeat it again...

for me they got big difference depending on the copy... if i where u try it yourself and know the difference of the copy you want to buy...

for example: Fernando Guitar's has a great unique series and in RJ for me i like thier LP copy just a small modification's and setup you can compare it to any branded guitars... 

just my own opinion...  :mrgreen: :evil: :-D
i already dispose here: Fender Strat 50th Anniversary Made in U.S, Fender Strat MIJ Reverse Headstock, Epiphone Firebird, Godin Acoustic, Octave OC2, XBOX 360.

My Gear: Hamer Vector, Fender Strat 57ri, Warlock and my Pedalboard...

Mahirap na tanong yan sir!  :-) but in the end, I would go with RJ  :-) lalo na yung mga lp nila, may mga magaganda din silang natural finished guitars!  :-)

I have tried lp models of both brands. In the end I got the RJ. At that time kasi mas ok ung set up and playability nung RJ na natest ko. Fernando is not bad its just that there was one les paul sa RJ na close sa hanap kong Les Paul tone. Each guitar is unique so wala sa brand yan bro. Kahit mga gibson lp kelangan mo din pa set up.

So if cocompare ko sila sa higher brands (Gibson in this case) ang first na tingin ko pa lang issue ang durability and quality.  I can get a sound close to gibson. The action is ok but needs to be adjusted and i dont know kung ako lang but madaling kumuha ng dumi ung fretboard so i have clean it every now and then. Tapos nabibitin ako sa sustain so i had to upgrade the pickups and it doesnt stay in tune that much. Signs that there must be a problem sa wood or sa nut or tuners so if u want u can upgrade to grovers or klusons.  Hope this helps :)

And also, I am satisfied with the sound quality of the RJ. Sa totoo lang natakot lang ako sa Fernando because my friend has one and its neck warped after 6 months..

I have yet to try a Fernando guitar that can convince me to think otherwise and gig with it. Sorry but I haven't found one yet.
If you can get your hands on one of them RJ Ventures, you're a lucky guy. :wink:

just for the heck of it i tried a fernando lp and an rj lp...

i liked the rj better. feels and sounds closer to the original.

the fernando lp, while it feels like an lp, sounds closer IMHO to a tele with humbuckers on it. i don't know why i heard it that way. the wood perhaps?

Fernando. Unique Series Les Paul. the pickups are already pretty good.

ako naman, i have yet to hear/play/see (mababaw ako importante din ang looks hehe) an RJ that has convinced me to let go of my Fernando.

I used to have an RJ Telecaster.  I bought it from someone who modified it.  It had 2 humbuckers, one Seymour Duncan JB model at the bridge and one DiMarzio Evolution at the neck.  He also removed the RJ decal at the headstock.  It look so great and sounded great.  It even felt great.  Wait, isa pa.  IT SOUNDED REALLY REALLY GREAT.  Sobrang effortless when you play.  The guitar was so responsive.  Isa lang ayoko sa guitar.  The Frets.

Anyway, so is it RJ for me?  Maybe not.  RJ is expensive for its quality for me.  May nakita akong Fernando Strat na P3,500, and it sounded.... nice.  but feels...  okay lang.  Not bad for the price.

match lang ang both brands kaso mas mahal ang fernando.
rj lp is 7k but fernando lp is 11k ata or more.

both brands have good looking guitars kaso ambilis maupod ng frets.
2 weeks lang upod na kasi manipis hindi jumbo frets

RJ guitars.... Fernando guitars use PLYWOOD for their body. RJ guitars use premium woods for their's. Great difference in tone.

ang LP ng RJ is agathis body which is a substitute for mahogany ito ung ginagamit sa squiers and ibanez na mic kaya malapit ung tone sa epi les paul na warm tone but agathis is not as solid and doesnt sustain as much kasi hindi kasing dense ng mahogany. Its a little heavy kaya it might fool you na mahogany ang body. As for Fernando tama yun alder nga ata and its also good so its just your choice. I still think RJ les paul is a little better but doesnt mean Fernando is not any good.
