Fernandes Competition Mustang

Post by Fiddy » Mon Mar 12, 2018 8:14 pm

I'm selling the Supro i just got a few months ago to make room for a cool Japanese 70s or 80s Fernandes Mustang ... (Don't know the year yet)

It is blue and the competition kind...

Dig it?

First dibs if it doesn't float your boat.

The color is really well done. I have had a vintage and Japanese compstang and that looks pretty nice. I like the wear on the metal.

I put a Staytrem, two shims under the neck, turned the truss rod a half turn. Plays a lot nicer now. . I don't have a working amp so i have no fucking clue what it sounds like. :P

I'm really digging this thing.
The color is gorgeous. It's giving me serious gas pains.

I think staytrem on a mustang isn't an obviously beneficial swap but for the most part, my mustang performs and feels better with the staytrem compared to the stock bridge (which, to be fair, is a rusty old thing from 1966)
