HIKI

DAORE

A Fernandes FST probably produced in the mid 80’s.  

Its body material looks like Hawaiian koa or monkey pod but is still unknown.  

I bought this guitar from a shop.  At first it appeared to me that it was mahogany. But mahogany is more reddish.  Next I thought it Hawaiian koa,   but the koa usually makes lighter than this one.

At last I became to regard it as monkey pod. If you are Japanese, you know this tree by Hitachi commercial. It is natural to regard so because Fernandes used monkey pod for regular products. I have never seen real monkey pod, but it extremely looks like monkey pod guitar on the catalogue.

Three EMG-SA pickups were mounted.  Except for the body material, it has the same specification as FST-135 around 1985. It might be made by semi-order system. (Updated 2016.8.21)
