Fernandes

I played a Fernandes Native X that popped up at the music store recently. i haven't seen a fernandes yet, am i just kept in the dark or are these things already well known? The guitar seemed to play and sound extremely good considering the cheap ticket price. Does anyone know something about these?

They've been around for quite some time and they're decent guitars. Fernandes is most known for the Sustainer "feedback" pickup.

Billie Joe from Green Day used to use a baby blue Fernandes for years. The guys who play for Rob Zombie use them as well. Helmet, Filter, Velvet Revolver to name a few more.

I can't believe I haven't heard of them yet.

The sustainer is really fun to play with, but I imagine it would get boring after long enough, like any effect. I've played a couple fernandes guitars, and they were good for the price, however I only played cheaper ones, and I'm still looking for a place that has some higher end fernandes, I really want to try a ravelle.
