may thread pala na ganito?
well wala po ako fernando guitar pero mayroon ako squire strat
becoz of this thread nagtry ko pumunta sa JB music store sa megamall at tumingin tinging ng fernando guitars. kelangan ko kc ng strat na pampraktis kc bagong pintura ung squire ko bka ilang buwan ko din patutuyuin
di ko try pero kinilatis ko ng onte ang mga fernando guitars
hmmmm ganda ng finish ng body nya ha at kung alder wood gamit aba ok na ok
kaso tiningnan ko neck medyo kapal nga ng clearcoat nya para tuloy furniture na antique. so medyo iba feel pag hinawakan mo, parang madikit na rubbery, kung ako lilihain ko siguro ng onte para madulas pag tumutugtug.
tpos ung truss rod nya medyo wala masyado sa gitna ng neck. sinilip ko medyo nsa side ng low e string. don't know if it will affect the overall strength of the neck
tpos ung fret wires nya parang yellowish ng onte ang kulay? not sure if it's stainless steel. di tulad ng ibang frets ng ibang brand na silver na silver ang dating so i don't know how long it will stay in good condition
so all in all medyo alangan ako sa neck nya and with all the other complaints ive read on this thread regarding the neck problems. the body and finish looks great and the wood is ok (if alder body talaga)
didn't bother to test it coz the action is way too high and i'm not buying it anyway (at the moment).
the price is discounted at P4,980
ive read from this thread that it went down as low as P3600
if the price goes down to P3600 again or lower i would definitely buy this guitar
plan on using the alder body for my project
i forgot to ask the salesperson if the body has a standard strat size, meaning it would fit any fender/squire necks and pickguards? have you guys tried replacing it w/ standard necks or pickguards? does it fit perfectly?
neway thanks
conclusion: the fernando guitar is worth your money especially if you are on a tight budget. i also plan on buying one
( to use as spare parts
