Crazy - but that's how it goes.

Am I right? Maybe it's not too late...

Anyway, the JS-100 is Fernandes taking a swing at the Rhoads Concorde, and it mostly succeeds!

Very very comfy, wide/thin/flat maple set neck, 22 vintage tall frets on 13.75" radius rosewood board with pearloid sharkteeth (hell yeah). 648mm scale length. Has a Headcrash floyd with a very enjoyable arm bushing (if you know, you know) that winds on up to an adjustable maximum tension, then glides around on a little nylon washer. Intonates great, returns to pitch great!

Set up to shred, but being non-recessed there's not much pull up available at a good playing action. Truss rod working, neck angle is good. Has a set of EMG actives (9v is under the plate in a little recess). In the process of swapping them in, the electrics have been made a bit funny and there's some sort of master volume, master tone, master boost situation happening.

Sounds great but it defies expectations.

Anyway, rocking regards to you and yours.

Weighs 2ish kg, comes in a fitted(!!) faux leather gigbag.
