From The Land Of The Rising Sun Fernandes Guitars began in Japan in 1969 building Flamenco guitars. As the company flourished,
it expanded production to include more acoustic guitars, electric guitars, basses, amplifiers and accessories to
become the biggest guitar manufacturer in Japan.
The California Connection
In 1992, following the history of success in Asia, Fernandes USA opened its doors in Los Angeles, California and quickly established a presence in the American guitar market by offering quality instruments at affordable prices.
Innovation & Tradition
By 1996 the Fernandes USA Custom Shop expanded the scope with further development in guitar craftsmanship. With models like the Vertigo, Ravelle and Nomad, and with the Sustainer System technology, our Research and Development Department strived to find new ways to define the way the world plays guitar.
Catering to everyone from the first-time buyer to the seasoned pro, Fernandes offers many options to meet their needs. An invaluable understanding of the guitar player fuels our strong commitment to the consumer and the quality they demand. It is this approach that helped to establish Fernandes Guitars as the leading guitar manufacturer in Japan and to become a competitive manufacturer in the American Market.
Rules Were Meant To Be Broken
Using the elements of traditional style with contemporary technique, Fernandes continues to provide a unique voice for today¹s musician, pushing the limits of guitar manufacturing with innovative body shapes and hardware configurations. Guitar players demand vintage feel with modern looks and Fernandes Guitars supplies the best of both worlds without compromise. Fernandes is the key to defining your sound by taking it to an entirely new level.
THE POWER OF INFINITE SUSTAIN
"My Fernandes Sustainer gives me infinite sustain as it should be with control and musicality" - The Edge (U2)
"The Fernandes Sustainer gives my guitar playing a whole new dimension. As a matter of fact it's sort of a dimension of slow motion. I actually can play long slow notes now." - Steve Vai
Since the 1960's, electric guitar players have been searching for an effective way to control sustain and feedback. The FERNANDES SUSTAINER puts that power at your fingertips. Our patented technology allows players to produce Hendrix-like textures and tonal colorings at any volume level. The Sustainer works with single notes or chords and can be adjusted to give swells or a gradual decay to the sustain.

i almost hate my fernandes,it smoked every thing in my guitar stable(80's strat style 149.00 pawn shop prize....added a duncan in the bridge, only mod....
check out the new tune I did for this new artist I am workin with! I am getting ready for the video soon but the song is up on my page let me know what you think its called "STAY" done with my MIJ fernandes 1996 APG 75s
The revolver is an impressive guitar. And the sustainer is a really good and funny system. Now, I can have on stage a simili-feedback easily, without running to the amp, nd then running back to the microphone.
Guy's,
The Revelle Elite totally kicks ass! The craftsmanship is exquisite it rivals even that of my custom made guitars.
You have my gratitude,
Gil
