Orange Stratocaster 62 ? model 1977 Made This is very rare brand. I have heard that one of Osaka music store made a marketing plan to sell This OEM guitar with Fernandes or Kawai. Probably, they didn't satisfy the replica of Fernandes. Probably this is before Stone Logo FST (tokai made) era. I have check the body construction. It is very similar with Fernandes FTS-70 series. The difference from old Fernandes is the neck finger board. Orange is 1P maple neck. Well, Fernandes 76/77 made FST series have the 1P neck for short period. I had a few, but the specifications are much closed to Tokai made stone logo type. From the catalog information, there were small head (62 model) and large head (68 model), This is large head type like 62 model. But it has the 2 strings guide. Currently 1 strings guide on. Under the bridge, there are color changed. The body is probably Sen with 4.18Kg. The neck is Maple 1P, C shaped grip, with 40.8 mm Nut width. This is original parts on. The body inside has a bit crack because of age. I have put the wooden bond. Under the bridge, there are color changed. The neck is not really straight, well, still can play. For this point, I offered lower price than proper conditioned one. |
