The Fernandes Retrorocket is a funky Strat-style guitar with a slightly offset body. This one has been refinished as a sea foam green relic.

I’ll talk about the guitar in a moment. But Google around and you’ll see photos of the likes of Kurt Cobain and The Edge from U2 playing Fernandes Retrorockets.

About the guitar …

NECK: Gorgeous super-thin neck and fairly flat fingerboard, 9.5 radius, skinny frets and comfortable action. Frets are in good shape. Set up with 10-46 strings. Very easy to play.

BODY: She was red previously. I sanded her back to the wood. Having primed her, I sprayed her sea foam green, then some clear coats The result is a old-looking, finish that’s comfortable to hold and looks great. Hard to capture in pics, but I’ve tried my best.

SOUND: She sounds just like a Strat. 5-way switch but just one tone dial (for all three pickups).

OTHER FEATURES: I’ve replaced her saddles with brass ones for a touch of class. If you wish. I can peel off the sticker on the back of the headstock.  The Japan flag sticker on the pickguard is also removable. I’m not sure if this guitar is Japanese or Korean – but it’s wonderful to play.

This guitar is now sold.
