1977 Fernandes catalog



■OS-420CH(BL) ¥42,000

Features: OS-420 is low cost, but

Bull dress neck. It has a high degree of completeness due to the adoption of a wide pitch, 11P tremolo unit, etc. You can get a unique clear sound from the single coil, 3 pickups mounted on Ipoli's non-laminated old type chassis. There are also BLs.

■OS-500BL ¥50,000

Features: Designed to fit comfortably in your hand, the OS-500 neck has an old- fashioned head shape, and is available in two types: a well-seasoned maple 1-piece neck and a rose fingerboard neck. .

■OS-600BS ¥60,000

Features: As the top model of the Orange Guitar OS series, its exterior, performance, and sound quality are by no means superior or inferior to other guitars in higher ranks. The 1-piece hard maple neck, 11% wide pitch bridge, 3 wide-range single-coil pickups, 5- position preset switch, and wood materials have all been carefully considered.

■OP-500YS/BL(CH) ¥50,000

Features: Deep bass with plenty of power, crisp sound

The Hearing Response is a model that promises a pace sound that cannot be overlooked by hard rockers. With split-type pickups, carefully selected materials, and a new model spool that eliminates backlash, it is hard to believe that this is a middle-class model. There are also other CHs.

■OPO-520BS(CH) ¥52,000

Features: Fender Precision based,

Reproduced the early model. The combination of an unassumingly simple exterior and a pacey single-coil pickup creates a straightforward pace sound. "Back to the roots" This is the history of OPO-520. It goes without saying that the latest technology is utilized in each and every part. There are also CHs.

Thanks for adding the catalog and translating Sigmania. I bought an orange strat not too long ago I haven't shipped over yet so this is cool!

Thank Voidoid56 for sharing it in another thread. I just put together the pieces of his scans. He has come across some incredible stuff in the process of collecting MIJ guitars. I appreciate him sharing his knowledge.

Orange by Fernandes 70s Ultra Rare Vintage Lawsuite Japan Guitar

Orange Stratocaster 62? model around 1977 Made

This is very rare brand. I have heard that one of Osaka music store made a marketing plan to sell.
This OEM guitar with Fernandes or Kawai.
Probably this is before Stone Logo FST (tokai made) era.

I have check the body construction. It is very similar with Fernandes FTS-70 series.
The difference from old Fernandes is the neck finger board.
Orange is 1P maple neck.
Well, Fernandes 76/77 made FST series have the 1P neck for short period.
I had a few, but the specifications are much closed to Tokai made stone logo type.

From the catalog information, there were small head (62 model) and large head (68 model),
This is large head type like 62 model. But it has the 2 strings guide.

The body is probably Sen with 3.85Kg. The neck is Maple 1P, C shaped grip.

This is original parts on.
Two pickups ... middle and bridge pickups have weak output signal, I dont know why.
For this point, I offered lower price than proper conditioned one.

Probably, they didn't satisfy the replica of Fernandes. Probably this is before Stone Logo FST (tokai made) era. I have check the body construction. It is very similar with Fernandes FTS-70 series. The difference from old Fernandes is the neck finger board. Orange is 1P maple neck. Well, Fernandes 76/77 made FST series have the 1P neck for short period. I had a few, but the specifications are much closed to Tokai made stone logo type.
