Northwest Vintage Guitars presents a rare and beautiful 1970's Fernandes Magnum MA-55 neck through Strat style guitar with a fresh re-fret and full professional setup from our Master Luthier. These models could only be purchased in Japan as a special order and you had to wait for it to be built. It's an impressive Matsumoku made multi layer neck through with and Ash body and Maple/Walnut neck. Versatile tones from the 3 single coils with a sweetness to the high registers and plenty of punch. Sustain for days. 25.5" scale, 9.5" radius, 8.42 lbs. Our Luthier gave it a new bone nut, fretboard plane and fresh re-fret with nickel frets. Comes safely packed and fully insured in the faux leather gig bag in the photos.
The nut measures 1.63" nut, neck depth is .83"-.92" at the 1st and 12th frets respectively. It's a comfy C profile. Freshly strung and accurately intonated with Ernie Ball 10-46 nickel strings and low 3/64" action. The neck is straight, the truss rod turns in both directions, and the relief is currently set for optimum playability. The frets are new and unplayed, the fretboard is clean and conditioned. There are very few scratches and dings as pictured. It remains in excellent playable condition with no dead spots.
