FERNANDES FAB-170
Product code: 260-007-174-0522
Product overview We've just received the 1979 FAB, one of Fernandes' most luxurious models, originally seen only in catalogs from 1980 to 1981! While many will recognize it from its shape, this instrument is a copy of the Alembic, a pioneering high-end guitar/bass from the early 1970s. There was also a FAB-180 model, but the basic specifications are the same, with only the body shape being different. It boasts the same short scale as the original, a neck-through construction with a zebrawood top and back, silver heart wings, two active pickups with hum-canceling pickups, and a machined brass tailpiece and bridge, making it a truly comprehensive instrument. The headstock is made of five laminated pieces of zebrawood, enhancing both the beautiful appearance and the overall neck strength. It also includes the PS-5 power supply and 5-pin connector cable that came with the BRAND NEW instrument, allowing you to use the 2-band parametric equalizer. This system also demonstrates careful study of the original Alembic. Although it was easier to obtain than the original, its list price of ¥170,000 (¥201,000 including peripherals) made it a high-end model at the time, and it was a rare instrument that was not easily found in music stores.

Detailed explanation There are some slight scratches and dullness/rust on the metal parts, but there is little damage considering the model year and it looks relatively clean.
The truss rod works well, and there is plenty of room for adjustment in both the forward and reverse warp correction directions.
The neck has been adjusted with a rod. It is in a straight condition considering its age. The frets are still high enough that it does not interfere with playing.
