Hi all..

I've been looking at a tasty Fernandes "Love Driver" but can find almost NO info on them. Can anyone here enlighten me on the build quality of this model. Look here! Tasty gold flake!

2000s strato model ST-85

You can find some info about it if you take some time.
 
Are you worried they look like they were put together in somebody`s garage? They don`t...I`ve seen many over the years in local shops...was this close to buying one more than once because I own some Fernandes guitars that are outstanding and these models in question, that I`ve seen, were every bit as well made...couldn`t find any flaws on the ones I saw. From my catalogs... alder body, 350 radius finger board, VS-4 p`ups, pull up pot activates front p`up...all in all very nice guitars. They later came in a burst finish...could have even learned to live with the fret board inlay but I have to draw the line somewhere, I already have more great guitars than anybody could want and I don`t need to own them all.
It`s the LD-85KK model, maybe you need to use a translating site...so far I haven`t found one thats perfect but I get my wife to translate when I need to. Even the MI Taiwan models I see are pretty nicely made, if you`re looking for F/USA custom shop quality then maybe you should get one of those but these guitars, the ones I`ve seen anyways, were very nice.
 
Fernandes catalog 2002,check for it in Fernandes webpage and done.
 
My info above came from a 2001 catalogue...looking through the 2003 version it is listed in 3 tone burst...if I saw a 2002 catalogue in Sendai then I have one...somewhere...the colors may have changed but the specs didn`t.
