Fernandes Japan LS-75S Electric Guitar Late 1990s Natural w/DeArmond Pickups, Padded Gig Bag

This late-1990s Japanese-made Fernandes LS-75S in a sleek natural finish is a total hidden gem for anyone who appreciates quality craftsmanship with a unique voice. Originally built as a Made-in-Japan run of the Fernandes Monterey shape, it already brings exceptional playability and rock-solid vintage MIJ construction to the table. What really makes this guitar a standout, though, is the professional pickup upgrade—swapping in a set of DeArmond humbuckers gives it a gorgeous, chimey clarity with plenty of warm vintage growl and dynamic crunch when you dig in. It nails that perfect middle ground between smooth, articulate bluesy tones and full-throated rock, making it an absolute blast to play whether you're laying down rhythm tracks or taking off on a lead run.

Notes:
