Fernandes TE85-T
Signature Model,  No Serial Numbers
 
This beautiful recent arrival with us has blown us away. This model is another one of our Signature Model Fernandes – the TE85-T is a Judy & Mary, specifically, Takuya model – the one without the grafitti. 
 
The previous owner tells us this is a 1996 model – there are a couple of parking knocks on the lacquer, but nothing else to give away being 26 years old. It has the familiar active FGI-T pickup system, a single volume and selector switch. No tone control. 
 
Like the STJ models we have, this feels like a professional instrument as soon as you pick it up. This is a proper alternative to the established original Tele.
