Here for sale we have Fernandes Monterey Elite in Metallic black satin. Made in China the Monterey Elite features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with a Maple top, Maple neck and 22 Medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. This instrument is equipped with Chrome hardware including Grover tuning machines, Tune-O-Matic bridge and a stop bar tailpiece The pickups consist of American made Seymour Duncan SH2N in the neck and a Seymour Duncan SH4 in the bridge, these are wired to independent volume and tone controls and a 3-way pickup selector.
The Solid Maple neck plays very well, with its Rounded ‘C’ profile neck feeling nice and full in the hands giving you all the familiarity and dependability you want from a guitar neck. The gloss finish to the rear is responsive, giving your playing an agile feeling, while the dark Rosewood fingerboard feels smooth and durable. The 14” fretboard radius feels perfectly balanced and classic, that's perfect for playing big jazzy chords with your thumb over the top or picking blues lines.
The Seymour Duncan SH2N Humbucker is a bright, vintage output humbucker which stays clear even under extreme distortion. The middle position provides a punchy, tight midrange great for chordal styles of playing whilst being able to cut through a mix. The SH4 in the bridge Provides slammin' output while retaining singing highs, aggressive harmonics, and just the right blend of sustain and distortion.
