Fernandes Stratocaster – Late '70s / Early '80s Stone Logo – Lake Placid Blue (Aged Green)

A killer example of the late‑'70s/early‑'80s Fernandes Stone‑Logo era, finished in Lake Placid Blue that's aged toward a beautiful greenish tint. These early MIJ Strat copies are known for their build quality, tight neck pockets, and lively resonance — and this one delivers exactly that. Clean, straight, all‑original, and ready for another few decades of playing.

The Stone‑Logo Fernandes Strats were built during the same era as early Tokai, Greco, and FujiGen‑made copies — and they share the same DNA: tight craftsmanship, great wood selection, and a feel that rivals many USA Strats of the time.

This one has the vibe, the tone, and the mojo that players hunt for.

Condition

Player‑grade but clean. Honest wear throughout — small dings, light scuffs, and finish aging consistent with a late‑'70s MIJ instrument. No cracks, no repairs, no mods. Electronics are quiet, switches and pots work smoothly, and the guitar rings acoustically with that unmistakable MIJ resonance.

Neck is straight, action is comfortable, and the guitar feels lively and responsive. Frets show minor wear but no buzzing or dead spots. Includes stylish white leather shoulder strap and original rectangular hard-shell case.
