My curiosity got the better of me and I threw out a low bid on a Japanese auction site... and I actually won the auction. Just arrived today (shipped 4 days ago) and I took these photos right out of the box. Needs a pretty thorough cleaning and oil on the fingerboard.
Fernandes Nikki Sixx Spector Copy. Multi-laminate neck thru. 32" scale, sort of? 32 1/2? Was Nikki's Spector a weird scale too or did Fernandes just say to hell with it? ;D Gotta get new strings on it before I even plug it in, because these look 20 years old (and not in a good way).
Besides replacing the corroded Strat jack I'm not too sure what I'm gonna do with this one. If it sounds really good I may go all the way and get it airbrushed, replace the bridge and tuners, find an opti-grab, and make this a more faithful replica. We'll see...
And remind me to stay off those Japanese auction sites.

Collecting Fernandes now George? ;D This is pretty cool, I know you were a fan of NS in the olden days. What's the measurement from the nut (fingerboard side) to the 12th fret? Double that for scale length.
