Description from the seller

Product Overview:
This is a Fernandes STJ-40 Limited Edition electric guitar.
Designed for beginner to intermediate players, the STJ-40 offers an excellent balance of playability, versatility, and value. It is equipped with three pickups, allowing players to enjoy a wide range of tones—from powerful rock sounds to clear, natural clean tones.
With its lightweight body, this guitar is easy to carry and comfortable to play for extended practice sessions. It is a great choice for home practice, rehearsals, or as an affordable vintage Japanese-made guitar.

Product Details:
Although this is a vintage instrument, it is in very good overall condition and presents nicely.
The guitar has been tested and is fully functional, with no issues affecting normal playability.

About the Brand – Fernandes:
Fernandes is a Japanese guitar brand known for its focus on comfortable playability and precise Japanese craftsmanship.
The brand offered a wide range of instruments, from entry-level models to professional-grade guitars used by experienced players. Fernandes guitars are especially well known in Japan’s rock music scene.
Fernandes effectively ceased operations in 2025, making its guitars increasingly difficult to find. This STJ-40 Limited Edition is therefore a great opportunity to own a vintage Fernandes electric guitar.
