I think if the Head Stock doesn't fall off of it within the first week of owning it it shouldn't violate copyright laws
LOLOLOLO
Nice!
or the first thing to do to fix, is to purposely break the head stock off and have it correctly attached, better yet if that said company would just sell the damn guitar with the head stock either not attached, or use an epi made neck then the problem would dissapear. lol shame, go to music store, drop 3000 usd on a LP just to take it to a repair shop and say hey, can you rip the head off this thing and make it right.
thats a funny funny, but those were only the shitty 2018 models that did that
@@jeremyb7128 but Gibson is the "best" lol! I agree but there are so many afordable guitars nowadays with amazing tone and quality
This man really has 'THE GIFT' when it comes to putting ideas across, if he isn't famous - he should be.
Thank you.
Wow! Thanks!
Guitar MAX , I really mean it. I'm not a musician and I just started watching this video because I liked the look of the guitar but I watched it right through because your delivery was captivating. THANK YOU!
@@Idrisjj ... It's that radio disc jockey voice.
I have a Japanese Fernandes Les Paul I bought 30 years ago. Great quality.
How do you obtain one
I’m curious as well
u buy one online. they’re all over ebay and reverb
The store I used to work at (UK) used to sell them. Holy cow are they great instruments!
We had a gold top at one point that is literally the best Les Paul I've ever played.
My God is that a beautiful sounding guitar. No wonder Gibson wants them banned! Awesome!
Fuck Gibson.
Nobody gives a shit what Gibson wants or doesnt want.
It has that Japanese rock music sound.
@@stripedpants1668 Gib$on
It's a bootleg Les Paul
Ive never tried one of those sustainers, so i had no idea it would work in clean mode. That is the coolest part of the video to me, I thought it only worked with distortion or I assumed that was the case. Very very cool.
Japanese guitars, and i hate to say it, are the best in the world. You can tell that their culture of loving their craft comes through in their product.
Michael Peretto japanese products just scream ‘quality’, it’s not just guitars, the food etc. too. I just came back from a trip to Hokkaido and man, I miss that place now.
Then why don't you just move there?
Gibson guitars just needs to die already.
I love my Japanese Fernandes, Bought it second hand in 1995 for £150. Tele shaped with twin humbuckers, a pointy Jackson style headstock and a ridiculously thin neck.
Especially Ibanez Prestiege
I worked at Fernandes Guitars for 3 years as a National Sales Manager. Owned a few Burny brand that they make...and they are phenomenal instruments.. Reverb has a few Japanese retailers that sell direct to the USA. I'd recommend everyone to give them a test drive!
Cool story bro
Dude, that guitar is beautiful and you made it sound really good. I was never a Gibson fan. The necks are too thick for my hands. I’ve only ever owned Jackson’s and one Schecter. But you tempted me into getting that guitar for a minute there. Congratulations on adding another beauty to your collection! 🤘
Ever heard of the slim taper neck?
That's all I've ever owned in Gibsons.

I’m blown away by the sustainer system. Never knew anything like that existed
Go look at Joe Satriani guitars, he uses them.
Steve hackett used sustain pickups for years gets a great sound have a look and listen 👍
These electronics give the chords such a unique timbre. I may very well be getting one in the near future. Great review as always.
Hey bro! Greetings! I just wanted to let you know that I just picked up a lawsuit era Les Paul for an amazing deal. It plays like a guitar 3-4x it’s “value.” It’s Korean made, which I love, and the craftsmanship is barre none. It’s a Dillion DL-650 and I’m blown away. I never really liked Gibson, so this is my way of saying “no thank you!” to the big guitar companies in the USA.

Yeah and he wasn't wearing a mask LOL!
For what
@@JamesCzerwinski-ph9zoprobably for breaking the two hand tap speed limit! 😂
Just bought my first Fernandes superstrat HSS... I remember reading about them in a huge guitar catalogue book that covered guitars from Fender to smaller more obscure brands. And now I'll finally have one once it arrives :)
Did you finally get it?
This was a great review. I think here in Australia we can just buy them off the shelf. At least we could in the past. I remember a guitar shop in Perth with many of these on display. That was before i realised what a quality guitar was (a few years ago now). I may see if they are still available. Thanks for the heads up. Rock on Bro.
Always enjoy you demo's because you go straight to that heavy metal sound and dont spend alot of time with that soft jazzy sound that alot of other channels waist there time on . just crank up the volume and destortion .
Well... it's important to show the range of the guitar...
It's got to play the jazz too. Hardly a waste of time.
Supply and demand. Greedy Gibson can suck it. This guitar looks and sounds rock solid!
I owned one of their Vortex Flying V's with the Sustainer system and their Floyd Rose. It was a killer guitar...just wasn't a fan of the V.
It is tough to feel bad for a company that lives off a brand while declining in quality yet sticks it to customers because it's a Gibson. Gibson can suck it. Heritage seems to have it right and other brands are just fine. Gibson seems to carry itself like it is still the 70s or 80s.
@@dkyelak WAAAAAAHHH!!! I CAN'T AFFORD A GIBSON!!! WAAAAAHHHH!!
That's how your comments come through, loud and clear buddy...
@Fawthur Nope, not really.
Ya but for only 3-10x the price you can get one made in the US that consistently over the last decade has produced an excessive amount of faulty examples. So many vids with dissatisfied owners pointing out the flaws on their multi thousand Gibsons. Missing binding, uneven finish, rough fret edges and of course the same electronic techs from the 60's. Why would you want a flawless, superior, replica for way less money? Why drive an affordable efficient vehicle when you could drop $80K on a giant V8 that barely makes 60hp/L??? #Murica
I've been watching you for ever and never realised I hadn't subscribed. Job done.
That's one of the best looking guitars I've ever seen.
You really are a very accomplished guitar player and I enjoy your videos, I love hearing you rip on those things, never a dull moment. Thank you! I am 69 yrs of age was raised on rock n roll. I was blessed to come up in the era of The Beatles, The Stones, Ten Years After, and of course, Jimi Hendrix and many others. Lead guitar has always been my love. I have wanted to learn guitar all my life, but thought I could never suceed at it. I love most all guitars, but the Les Paul has always been my dream guitar. I spent an hour last night as a matter of fact, drooling over them on the internet. My God, they are art. What I would like to know is, how did you learn guitar and become so proficient at it ? I hope you don't mind my question ?
I think he has a lot of comment to go through but im learning guitar as well
I got that One without sustainer, and Each time, each day I touch the Axe to play it Blows my mind again and again!
One of my biggest regrets of my musical life; not buying a Burny,Tokai, Orville or a Fender Japan guitar. All amazing axes. Would have loved a Les Paul Burny with a sustainer like Max’s.
Snape in his younger years.
No, Mr. Potter, it is played like this...
OMG.. Neeeds \\\\\\\\\ QUOTING!!!!
This comment made my day being a huge HP fan
You ever seen that one movie called Harry pothead in the chamber of crack
A mix of Val Kilmer and Danzig
My first guitar was an early 70s Ibanez lawsuit Les Paul. My parents gave it to me in 77. It was beautiful and sounded amazing. In 88 I traded it for a Fostex 4 track which may be the worst trade of my life considering that today you can find the same 4 Track for around $50 dollars or less and the same guitar starting at around $1000 dollars or more. I wish I had kept that guitar. Side Note: The killer 20 watt vintage Gretsch tube amp they gave me with the guitar,I gave it away. That same amp is selling for about 2 grand today. Live and learn!
The amp must have hurt. I feel your pain. I moved house and intentionally left a silver face Fender Champ at the old house because one of the valves had blown and I didn't have a chance bitd to find a replacement. I know it's not worth as much as the Gretsch, but still... 😒
Really nice intro, I love it. The Japanese really crushed the market a few years back with very close approximations of Fender and Gibson guitars. If you know the history of the market, and most people do, Fender basically gave it all away to the Japanese. I have a Tokia Strat, style guitar made in the 80's that rivals my 62' USA re-issue by Fender. They continue to still make nice stuff , but under their own brand names, like ESP for example.
Love it! LP with a Floyd and sustainer is my dream. Project plans are in motion. Thanks for the vid!
A very good deal when you find one of these. The Japanese made geetars are truly at the top of the geetar game! 👍 to Max for showcasing this geetar! 🤟
Old Burny's & Grecos are great guitars!
I have a buddy who has 3 grecos. They're greatness
Tokai too !
Very nice equipment
I love Greco’s and burny’s I have 4 Greco’s 3 are customs and 1 is a standard and 1 burny which I love I want more lol
@@DatMetalBoi75 yeah, unfortunately they're now the price of a used les paul tribute or a studio
Being a LP guitarist, I need to get one of these for sure.
I'm stuck pondering 3:19 "Literally infinite sustain". After my bones crumble to dust the note keeps ringing!
you'll evolve into a gorilla before the sustain stops LMAO! 😂😂
Some of the best Stratocasters I’ve ever played have been Fernandes. I’ve played some Burny LPs that were great too, I always thought the “Super Grade” logo on the old ones that looked like Les Pauls signature was pretty slick.
My son has a used Fernandes "strat". Beats the pants off my American Strat from 95.
this guitar sounds great. I wish Fernandes/Burny developed "Steve Hackett" signature series, he's a master in using such sustainer tricks (and invented tapping long b4 EVH).
Please don't touch! Great album.
I’d totally love it if they released a Hackett signature!
I have a 1976 "lawsuit era" Ibanez Les Paul copy that I've had for over 30 years, it plays like a dream. I'd be really interested in getting my hands on a Burny.
Bought a Ferandes limited edition late 80's, sounds great I still have it.
And that's how a literated musician besides his skills create a video for all ranges of musicians. Thank you sir.
What did you say?
@@OldRunt lo siento, NO HABLA INGLÉS
The intro was lowkey the best part of the video
You are seriously a damn GOD and your videos are filled with great information and insight without coming off as elitist. You present great content in an easily digestible format. Thanks bro
Always a pleasure to watch and listen to this gent... A polished presentation every time...
Totally agree.
Good job highlighting the sustainer electronics. That was really cool. I eapecially loved the demo on the clean tones. Then, when you put the distortion back in, there was such a contrast, and sounded great.
Thank you for showing this.
I have a LP style with a floyd, and I’m tempted to mod it with a sustainer after watching this video.
there's the Digitech Freq- out pedal.. its killer. to me its the same as the harmonic setting on sustainer.
No man. Don't screw the Gibson guitar get the BOSS foot pedal instead.
I'm gonna check on that myself.
@@kmatax9237 thanks for that info!
Linkin Park style?
That's steve hackett signature guitar (original guitarist from genesis in the 70's...yes the Phil collins/peter Gabriel band) he still tours and that was his Sig fernandes/burny made for him
Steve Hackett was a huge influence on many guitarists.
Now there is an underrated player (and usually I think that term is just a stupid cliche).
Please add my name to the list. I remember learning literally every guitar part SH every played from Nursery Cryme to Trick of the Tail. And don't forget Voyage of the Acolyte. I can still remember my mum calling me for dinner while I'm was learning "Colony of Slipper Men". Such a disappointment ... however the curry goat and rice and peas did soften the blow. Shout out to Brother Russ for having such a cool record collection. (but I digress). And thanks to the Lord for giving me good ears as there was little or no sheet music for this stuff at that time.
Even today, Musical Box is one of my favourite tunes to warm up with.
We are a dying breed my friend@@larrybethune3909
I have a Tokai les Paul gold top with p90’s. Tokai black beauty custom with 3 humbuckers and two burst les Paul’s , also by Tokai and a 335 Tokai. Stunning instruments. Love to see more of these guitars reviewed.
This is a totally cool guitar. To be able to make sounds like that with a Floyd Rose- WITH the guitar on clean ? That sounded great.
I am impressed by that sustainable system. Plus a Floyd rose too. What a beast
Pride in their workmanship and quality control! Thats why a toyota tacoma is worth more than a chevy Colorado! No comparison. That is one of the best sounding les paul style guitars i’ve ever heard. Nice video!
That guitar has an amazing setup and sound. I'd love to own one.
Many wonderful guitars are made in Japan. I only play Yamaha guitars. They play as well as USA guitars. I am talking the top end of course. But at a fraction of the cost! Some of there mid-range guitars are amazing as well!
Extremely true. Hard to fathom the $ spent on some of our products made here that arent on par with Yamaha
I tried all brands today and finally I got Fernandes Monterey guitar, so so good!
Nice guitar, the whole shape argument fight is getting really old, it would be like Dunlop sueing BFGoodrich for selling a tire because its tire is round too
I bet if you owned a company and people copied your creative trademark, you'd have a different point of view. Why can't this company make their own style? Plus it's about trademark, confusion in the marketplace.
My comment was a broad stroke comment for those who didn't pick up on it. One thing I do agree on is marking a product for example "Chibson" with lettering that is very obvious to mislead customers, yes this is wrong in every sense. Be that as it may, a shape of a product is hardly a "Trademark" or patentable thing, otherwise the builders of acoustic guitars would be screwed. For example if you look at Martin, Gibson, Ibanez ect ect ect the list goes on and on forever with new ones cropping up every year; all of their standard acoustic guitars are shaped the same, not all the exact dimensions are the same of course but generally the so called "creative design" have all been copied over and over for over a century. What CAN be trademarked is yes a name and or a specific method of wiring a pickup coil or wiring the components in a certain way so to speak, another broad stroke to cover a lot of ground quickly here. If shapes were patentable I would be a rich man and wouldn't even bother replying to such silly comments. I do own a company and people copy my ideas and methods all the time in addition they attempt and sometimes do steal my customers. What keeps one from running around pissed off all the time is the pride in the highest QUALITY of products and service I can possibly provide to my customers, THAT is what is in a name. Like I said before the argument has become quite a bore in my opinion. When a company with any name, sacrifices the once impeccable quality they once had for profits on the bottom line customers will go elsewhere. In the beginning it was Quality that made the Gibson name. Do your research before you purchase, there are excellent serial number resources right at your finger tips to authenticate an instrument. Once again to reiterate previous opinions, marking something such as the word "Chibson" for example is wrong and misleading agreed, the rest well that's always been up for grabs , do a little homework and open your eyes a little before you start trying bash someone you don't even know. Been in business for over 30yrs and about to retire from all this crap, when you have been in business that long you do have a different "viewpoint" and you open your eyes and get a grip or you don't survive.
copyright should have an expiration date of 10 years, tops. fuck it! if you cant profit in 10 years, you dont deserve to profit ever.
@@sabin97 I don't know all of the ® laws, of course. At this point I'm not sure anyone can keep up with them all.
But I'm fairly certain that many things, pharmaceuticals for example, have a ® that expires after 7(?) years & then other companies can make the generic.
I'm also not a lawyer and not very well-read on the subject, but i suspect companies like disney have basically infinite copyright.
and most patents dont expire.
pharmaceutical ones do expire after a while, but in general patents tend not to expire.
That's a cool guitar! The sustainer feature is really neat.
This guitar has really great tone! I've listened to the other guitars you've done and this one really cuts through for clarity : ) thanks
destroying new guitars just to keep price jacked is the only thing should be banned
Ditto good sir 👍
love that there's a Lee Jackson Metaltronix back there...
I just picked up the exact same guitar and let me tell you I am very impressed👍🏻👍🏻 the quality of this guitar is absolutely amazing the setup is spot on better than any Gibson I have played next im going to get an older one without the Floyd and Sustainer and probably an Orville copy aswell these copies intrigue me more than Gibsons do🤷🏼♂️
If Gibson pulled their head out of their arse they'd do what fender, Martin, Taylor etc, have done and build some models in Mexico and make identical replicas of their USA models. It would be a cash cow. While they're at it they can license the headstock to epiphone and start crushing the Chinese market, too
so true
Top model Burny guitars are made in Japan by Tokai !
Pinche Pendejo , What have the Jews destroyed?
Pinche Pendejo you must be a pretty big fan of a man named adolf hiter
Squidward's Testicles - just ignore ol pinche. he can go hustle his dead end world view elsewhere.
The bigger issue is the original commenter said epiphone needed to license the headstock shape from Gibson! that doesn’t sound quite right. did gibson sell off epiphone?
Beautiful guitar and beautiful sounding too. Thanks for sharing man...
Sub'd! Nice review, Max! So I spent about two years researching this brand - Burny/Fernandez - and even checked a few out, and I was very impressed. I have a 1968 Gibson LP Standard (and other guitars from Fender and Gibson) which I obviously cherish since I've held onto them for many years. One, is a '65 Gibson SG reissue that Gibson put out, the late '80's. I added a Sustainiac system way back then - the SG had a three pickups so there was room. A guitar with sustain circuitry wasn't my first rodeo by any means.
SO I BOUGHT A NEW BURNY RLC 95S! AND.... IT.... IS..... FLAWLESS.... IN.... EVERY.... SINGLE..... WAY...... There are NO imperfections ANYWHERE! It sounds like GOD and plays like HEAVEN!!! Neck exactly perfect, fret nibs (smooth), just the exact amount of relief!
The pickups have a slightly different sound because they are integral to the sustain circuitry. BTW, the knob you mentioned as being "TONE" is NOT tone but a total feed or drive control for the feedback circuit. Without that, it's possible if fully cranking the feedback circuit, it *could* make certain notes going through the bridge humbucker, have some "hair", or very mild distortion. My original Sustainiac circuit, on my SG, works the same exact way.
Again, this Burny is 100% flawless - I have microscoped every millimeter of it with extreme lighting and magnifying glass, black light, full outside sunshine.., and there's not one blemish, or one problem with binding, or one paint issue, or one clear coat issue - anything - PERIOD. I have played and recorded with $8,000 Gibson Les Pauls that were not as well made.
The feel and play is the same thing - it sustains forever WITHOUT the circuitry, intonates like a champ, action is BELOW 0.6, stays in tune and weighs 8.1 lbs. We measured it VERY carefully and it's the exact size of a Gibson Les Paul Standard!! I might put locking tuners on it, but it is such a beautiful guitar I'm afraid to touch it.
I don't know HOW they're doing it, guys, because once you go beyond the CNC manufacturing, it requires time and extreme quality control. To be honest, it's kinda freaking me out.
Now, I do NOT work for the Burny/Fernandez guys, nor any music store. Hell, I never even really acknowledged Fernandez until a few years ago. Like I said, I don't know, guys, I just don't know how they're doing it, but that's the reality here in my studio, and everyone who touches it agrees.
You can start a religion with that guitar in clean mode 7:00
Amen
How'd he make that noise?
Magnus Erikson Feedback. He explained how the built in sustain causes feedback. Other than that he was also using the whammy bar.
Scotty's Animals j
Scotty's Animals I'm part of the religion
I say check out the Glary guitars. Their Telecaster model is great for the money spent, in my opinion.
I have that same exact guitar, bought used in Indiana for $550. Love it! I can't really play like you, but still lovin' it. Peace.
In the 80s 90s I played 7 nights a week doing hard top 40 big hair rock covers andI bought a Japanese Fernandez Stratacastor24 fret neck through emgs double lock Floyd. BEST GUITAR IVE EVER OWNED !!!!! EVER !!!
Nice guitar man, thanks! You can find these for sale at Reverb and many other online distributors.
I’ve always heard good things about Burny, but I always wondered why you don’t see them in the USA. Question answered! Thanks man!
Your hair reminds me of Glenn Danzig in his hayday and I love it.
-5 points.
Guitar MAX and -5 points for not reading the description
Guitar Max: Thanks for the review. Why not include a link to where this guitar can be ordered directly from the manufacture for those of us that live outside the USA? Thanks
lol I was watching your old videos, you've come a long way
the price of the guitar just went from $800 to $1250 in a month ....wow
That's what happens when a youtuber shows off a product that fills a gap in a price range
For what it's worth, their website has it listed as 85,000 yen (which is currently equivalent to $747 US).
Although, if they're including shipping and fees for importing through customs, it could end up being higher.
I never found the nice guitars that Max show us.
Maybe 'cause I am in Europe?
Yeah, Gibson probably has a copyright issue with this Japanese Les Paul. More importantly though, they also don't want you to know how much better it is than their overpriced pieces of crap.
@@mr.wizard2974 Yes they do. They even had pictures of their guitars on their own website with broken headstocks, chips in the paint, and paint on the binding. Sure it sounds petty on that last one, but when you're paying for a custom shop Gibson, minor flaws like that are unacceptable. They stopped caring about quality years ago and live off their name only. Buy a Gibson made before 2000 if you want one.
overpriced yes..crap...your out of your lame ass mind
Yeh in the UK you can buy these type of guitar's for just over £400 from Amazon
I wouldnt go that far I just got one of these and it's no where near as good sounding or even the way it feels as my les Paul lol it's a good guitar but the 800 I paid is overpriced I'd say it's a 600 dollar guitar brand new if that
I play a burny lp copy, a tokai loverock, a pearl lp copy, and a gibson lp custom.
my scoresheet goes as follows
BURNY --- 4/10
LOVEROCK --- 9/10
PEARL --- 7/10
GIBSON --- 10/10
these conclusions are based purely on sound (natural) and playability of the guitars.
I think ill get one of these now. Great video. Awesome playing. Ive been in love with my early 90s JP Fernandez tele for over 20 years. Shopping for a new axe and this vid sold me. Viva la
Max
Steve Hacket has been playing a Fernandes for years
That sounds amazing! GFS has a model similar to this minus the sustainer electronics. Had the traditional model and was very impressed with it for around $200. Hands down that thing is a beast but way out of my price range. Sustainer electronics peaked my interest hmmm... Great video as always brother!
Forget the white LP you're demo-ing in this video, I want to know more about the charcoal black flame top LP hanging on the wall BEHIND you! That one is a real BEAUTY!
"We gottem roll in guys!"
*"FBI OPEN UP"*
This guitar has unique character, especially in clean sound.
Cheers from Indonesia
I often fast forward through your demo parts, simply because you're such a good player it depresses me. This time I was transfixed, what a guitar! I own a Les Paul Custom, but I'd rather have one of these.
I actually feel more inspired to practice when hearing great players like Max. Even though I play a completely different style to him
Gibson lets companies get away with cloning their guitars except for "one thing", the "Open Book" headstock. Even licensed Gibson clones aren't allowed to use the Open Book headstock. If they had just rounded or squared off the end of the headstock they probably wouldn't be banned.
Barry Allen makes a different timeline where Cisco Ramon is a guitarist.
Madhusudhanan Parthiban needs more likes
i dont know crap about guitars but listened to a les paul last video .this has a very nice sound all around...love it
Interesting guitar for sure, Max - thanks for the review/look. FYI, Satriani and Ibanez has also been offering Sustainer neck pickups on the JS line for a couple years now. :)
Joe Satchton As well Steve Vai if I can remember I think he uses Fernandez sustainiac. I don't know if it's available in every model or just for him
Awesome video Maxx !!!! Never cease to amaze !!! What a MAJOR TALENT !!
Great review.
In 1987 I bought a Fernandez it was a 24 fret neck through emgs double locking Floyd Rose it was a red colored clear coat and was probably the best guitar I've ever owned in my life as a pro plan nightclubs 30 years seven nights a week
earned a sub! what a well thought out video. this guy rocks.
The coolest legit Japanese Les Paul clone ever! 👌
I love that guitar. Epic tone. Thanks for sharing and awesome playing brother! -Mark
When you have to sue people for making a better guitar
Japan's guitar design is so perfect
...they literally copied Gibson.
Yeah not really
Could you please do a review on Yasuma acoustic guitars. They are the Lawsuit company no-one talks about or knows about. Yasuma instruments did get sued by Martin for copyright infringement. I've owned my Yasuma acoustic guitar for 40 years and it's a very rare solid Rosewood back and side's and spruce top. Sounds fantastic and it play's great too. If you can find one in the USA because after Martin successfully sued Yasuma instruments all the guitars and mandolins etc got destroyed by big bonfires all over the USA burning all of the Yasuma instruments in the country. Mr Yasuma was making guitars before he started Yasuma instruments in 1950. Thankyou From Craig Down under Australia. Cheers mate and HAPPY Days
Another good review Max
I’m calling the cops
I just got the hard tail version in white. I’m really looking forward to playing it. I had a Fernandes Monterey with a sustainer and stupidly sold it.
Its really weird hearing your last name used as a japanese guitar brand 😂
@@_fabio1978 meh it only makes a small dofference there the same word both coming from the same root words in Spanish and Portuguese history. S and z are the same letter more or less, you just hum for z and hiss for s😂
Besides he pronounced it fernand"ez" not fernand"ess"
Fernandes is not a hiss it's not "ss" either in reality the root is latin and all latin based languages, french portuguese italian spanish. In south america spanish and portuguese can meet in the middle.
Just saying.
@@QOTSAPT no, the dude deleted his comment he said that its spelled fernandes instead of how my last name is spelled
I explained my confusion, because i had no reason to believe it was spelled with an a instead of a z
I was commenting on how Portuguese switches letters around
(My middle name is Emanuel, missing the second m and yes im aware emmanuel isnt spanish or Portuguese)
Like Immanuel And Fernandes
Instead of Emmanuel and Fernandez
@@8393Robertrex Let me know when you decide to start making more guitars in Japan, you can put me down for at least 1 LP or SG ;-)
I need this guitar. .. .
Gary Heighway🤔 😉 Need?
yeah “Need’.
but doesn’t the floyd rose mess up the les paul ness? tone wise. it still seems like a nice guitar.
cool video. thanks!
I have three in stock. They’re just as good as this video implies 😉
Michael Davenport sweet....
michael davenport whats the cost?????? and colors
Saw your review = went out and bought one! Hard to find but worth it.
you wont regret it
I love it..I only feel comfortable with a les
An the money it cost the install a floyd rose on my ultra was insane
It looks exactly like the guitar that Steve Clark from Def Leppard played. I always wondered where he got a Les Paul with a tremolo from.
Steamin' Steve. Miss that guy.
You can always have one installed as an aftermarket custom job, personally I wouldn't do it though, I think it's sacrilege and looks horrible unless it's a Bigsby.
Steve Hackett play this guitar a lot on goldtop and black beauty style !
He talks about the sustainers sounds and he speaks about the violin sounds that the reason why he like the sustainers!
I remember some years ago Kirk Hammett playing a Fernandes. Or maybe I'm just senile. Haha
He had a Fernandes strat-style that he used in the 80s
Nice! A lot of guitar for not much money...compared to Gibson!👍😎🎸🎶
wildcatter63 yep! I noticed Ibanez is putting some nice stuff out in the $200 to $400 range...nice finishes!👍😎🎸🎶
wildcatter63 I've seen some on the Letgo site in my area for as low as $50! It's amazing! Nice guitars with dual humbuckers and some with Floyd Rose style trems. A decent neck is worth $50! Prices seem really low right now.
Reminds me of my 1977 Ibanez Rocket Roll Senior - one of the last serial #'s before Gibson sued. I still have it. That axe has been around.
ANOTHER Japanese Invasion?!?!!??
LOL! Great video, was unaware of this ‘banned’ in the USA ‘market.’
Very interesting.
What do you think of. Aira pro? From the 80 90? They had a lot of nice equipment including . locking tremolo.. Floyd Rose.
