Ah sorry, the flyer does but not the catalogue .... and that flyer also shows a 5 position switch for the 600 and a three position for the 500s so ties exactly with my spec, but as you say, the date is questionable without a matching date on the flyer. Booh.

Your translations shows the 600 as being available in Cream White, or am I misunderstanding?

OS-600.6301 ? think that is the one with the small head and neck pocket end truss rod adjustment

That's great information I think it must be an OS-600 in CH Cream White, as the details above show the 600 has the half step (5 way), single ply pick guard and the truss rod is at the neck pocket end which tie in with mine exactly. Date 1977 seems a good shout! All this info has been...

Picked this beauty up a few weeks back for £225 - from what I can see it is similar to a Fernandes from very early 80s. It’s had quite a few changes such as replacement planet waves tuners and imagine the brass saddles have been added. The neck is honestly absolutely wonderful, plays like a...
