I picked up this Fernandes fv-80k about a month ago. I've been jonesing for another Floyd, and while I've had ~20 Rhoads types, I've never owned a Gibson style V - for $400cad, why not?

It's mahogany with a maple cap, has an sh-5 in the bridge. I like the layout, a humbucker in the bridge and single coil in the neck does everything I need. The truss rod adjustment is in the heel, and clearly it needs straplocks - about 10 minutes into rehearsal the top gave and it hit cement headstock first. No harm done, and it was still in tune. At least I know it's gig-worthy off the hop.

Until the next Japanese guitar comes along...

Killer! Japanese builds are consistently good to great. Can't go wrong IMO.
Congrats!

I don't limit myself to mij stuff, but I definitely gravitate towards it. I keep 6 guitars out to grab, 5 are currently mij lol. Gretsch 6120, 6128, 6134b, Fender E-serial str-314 boxer and this guy. American Nashville B-Bender never misses the cut, though. I've owned more mij Jackson/Charvel than I can likely remember too. I'm a fan of sorts!

I picked it up locally from a dude I don't think does too much selling. I can vouch for the quality if you see one pop up again though.
