Saw one of these today. Anyone ever tried one?

I love Vertigos, except that one ugly model.

The one with the blueburst is amasing...

There was a model with mini-hums, MOP pickguard, and a Gibson-ey clear mahogany finish.

Looked like a Firebird and a lefty Explorer had a quick fiddle in the bushes. Definitely on my "I see it, I'll buy it" list.

The wooden one was the one I saw today. Worth buying then you think? At first glance I did think it was a Firebird offshoot.

It does look tacky in the black. Looked great in wood though.

If the price is right (which might be hard to explain to me, since the $ is worth about 22 pence these days), and you need a mini-hum guitar, do it.

Japanese Fernandes guitars can go toe-to-toe with anything out of America, and are silly, silly cheap. One of the few remaining steals left in the vintage market.

Hmm not so sure about the looks but if it sounds good looks don't really matter, but I LOVE Fernandes guitars. I've a Bound Tele Custom with David White pu's (with fender headstock not the beaky later one) a Jazz bass clone (ditto) and most importantly a JM shaped Decade with three David White rewound singles and a sustainer which is utterly fantastic.

A vertigo with P90's might be cool though, the body reminds me of a 50's coffee table.
