1990's Fernandes Japan TE Series Contemporary Telecaster (Black)Made in Japan by Fernandes in the mid to late 1990's, this TE model appears to be a custom order model that looks like a hybrid between a TE 85T and a TEJ 70 model.

Original Gotoh tuners and a pair of Fernandes FGI passive single coil pickups controlled by master volume

Loaded with a Floyd Rose Original tremolo along with Seymour Duncan JBJ in the bridge

a Hard Rocker Pro single locking tremolo bridge and Smooth Tuner II tuning machines

slim 60's profile mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard

Made in Japan to replicate the CBS style Stratocaster's of the early 70's

Plenty of sticker tan and signs of wear on this one but overall it's a great players guitar that was professionally serviced prior to listing by our tech Vaughan

Rider acoustic guitars were made in Japan by Hayashi Gakki

This one is inspired by the Fender '57 model Stratocaster with an alder body

tuners and electronics are all working well

Mahogany body with a carved hard maple flame top

true-bypass wiring and sustain/tone knobs to give some extra tone-shaping options

Plenty of cosmetic bings and bongs as pictured but nothing structural and nothing that impacts on playability

however the screws on the neck are slightly stiff and we don't want to risk cracking them as it still plays as it sits
