Please read the following description and profile. [Manufacturer] Fernandes [Model Number] RTE-50 '76 [Condition] Junk [Accessories] None (body only) This is a Telecaster-type model from the 80s Revival series. The fingerboard and neck are maple, and the body is likely sen (Japanese ash). Current setup at the time of listing: ・Strung with 09-42 gauge strings, set to approximately 1.4mm on the 1st string and 1.9mm on the 6th string. ・Slightly straight neck with a small amount of relief, with approximately 50 degrees of adjustment remaining on the truss rod. ・A 0.2mm shim is installed; a thicker shim will be needed to lower the string height further. When I originally acquired it, the 3-way switch was missing, and the front pickup wiring was cut and non-functional, resulting in a 1Vol.1Tone configuration with only the rear pickup active. I rewired the front pickup, installed a switch, and restored it to the original specifications. In addition, I removed the deteriorated original wiring and rewired all the pot connections with cloth wire. ※See image Each pickup, pot, and nut have been checked for normal operation without any scratchiness. Fret height is also not an issue. [Reasons for Junk Condition] ・Overall, there are many dents, scratches, and wear. There are many, from minor ones not visible in the photos to larger ones, on both the body and the neck. Due to the limited number of photos that can be posted, I have only shown the most noticeable areas, but please assume that there are similar scratches in areas not shown in the photos. There is also peeling of the plating and rust on the metal parts. ・Nut needs replacement The grooves for the 1st, 2nd, and 5th strings are due for replacement, and the open strings buzz. Also, I was planning to replace it with a TUSQ nut, so the nut has been removed and is not fixed in place. ・Fret edge feel When sliding or gripping the neck, the fret edges feel slightly rough (burrs), although they won't cut your hand. As you can see, it has considerable wear and tear. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a beautiful instrument. The fingerboard has also been played in and has a relic-like appearance. Also, when shipping, I will remove the strings and separate the neck and body. Please be aware of this beforehand. I reiterate that this is being sold as junk. Please purchase with the understanding that it is for parts or repair. Shipped via Rakuraku Mercari.
