Fernandes STJ-80BT
Signature Model, No Serial Numbers
 
Buck Tick was (and still is) a well-known post-punk rock band in Japan – both guitarists are very loyal to Fernandes and have had signature models since the beginning. This is one of Hisashi Imai’s models – they became increasingly wild as the years progressed. 
 
These STJs are so damn good we have 4 of them and will try and get more. A double octave super slim and slick neck, fixed bridge and simple set-up – basically a Telecaster on steroids, then a dose of something illegal. These are pro-level instruments – obvious as soon as you pick it up. In the past, someone has had a GK-3 synth pick-up on it. This one also has its original active FGI-T pickups, and they sound fine. 
 
These were domestic market only – we never had them in UK. I think 100% of UK’s stock of these are here, some are upgraded – this one is pristine and will stay that way.
