I bought this fernandes about 5 years ago on e-bay when it came the switch was dodgy but i seem to fix it ok. And grew to like it a lot nice sound but looked like a 90s junk guitar from a charity shop with weird headstock. I got 14 other guitars so it got sidelined for a few years as it didn't always behave because of switch. Im going to spain soon and want to take a guitar with me and leave it there and this seemed like the perfect candidate its light weight an advantage so still dont know why it wont amplify i guess its the switch as everything looked ok on removal of scratch plate. so deciding to take neck off for the journey makes this a resonable travel guitar too. On removing the neck revealed it to be a LE-1 1993-1998 this was good as seller didnt have a clue and i read on the net these were quite good guitars
