It seems like there may have been at least three different companies that made Stone logo Fernandes guitars:

- Kawai ? (FST85 with silver heart bodies)
- Matsumoku (thru necks)
- Tokai (FST50, 60)

Logging serial numbers where possible.

70107 (July, 1, 1977) E0 Neck stamp
7000071 (Tokai)

1978
8002111 (Tokai)

Jeff Beck model. FST60J ?

Note blank neck plate.

https://mojostompboxes.com/products...r-stratocaster-nitro-w-schallers-and-dimarzio

"One of the highest end Fernandes model of 1980 (and it shows!). This one appears to be a custom order made by Fernandes for either a customer or a store. Factory loaded with Schaller machine heads and a Beck scratchplate/switching loadout, it's got a rare nitro finish on a "furniture-burst" finish. Maple neck has a nice thin C profile, loaded with the original "fretless wonder" style frets and weighs 3.6kg's."

Fernandes Stratocaster Neckthrough Guitar

1978 Fernandes Stratocaster Neck-Through
There are None of these in Circulation

AlienXnation™ Has Over 50 Vintage Artist Model Guitars in Stock - AlienXnation™ Since 2004

This is a 1978 Fernandes neck-through stratocaster made at the famous Matsumoku Factory Japan. Its an artist model made for a Japanese artist and manufactured in very few numbers. The Matsumoku made versions of this model are seldom seen yet highly collectible and identified by the rear control cavity shape and a number of other indicators.

Its common knowledge that Fernandes outsourced their guitar making in the 1970s. Factories like Tokai, Kawai and Matsumoku helped Fernandes make their mark in the world of guitar sales with models just like this.

Over the years very few neck-through stratocaster type guitars have been produced. Fernandes "Stone Logo" era guitars are well known to have captured the vintage tone that we all seek with their bolt on versions of the classics that they released in the late seventies. With this guitar we have a successful example of vintage mojo with the added feel and sustain of neck-through engineering.

This guitar is in perfect operating condition. The robust truss rod has been turned left-to-right. Every operation of the guitar and all the hardware has been tested and there are no issues. Its ready to play upon arrival to you.

This guitar has been aged naturally by 3-1/2 decades of careful use. The previous owner took great care of this guitar and the small cosmetic imperfections add to the magic of this guitar.

No Case Included - Tremolo Bar is Included
