Old Fernandes offsets

I was just bored and sifting through some of the old Fernandes catalogs and this one caught my eye:

It's kind of like Jazzmaster meets Strat meets Mustang. Sweet idea. Anyone seen this before?

I think i prefer the Native model to that one. Hard to find though.

Holy shit, I want that purple one. They look hardtail though and the necks a bit on the wide side maybe.

Big fan of the Vertigo Deluxe, me.

Now if I could only find one locally.

If anyone's interested in these, this one is for sale in Cheyenne, Wyoming for $325!

Upper fret access seems limited.

Aye, Muso's are so fucking annoying. Or the portrayal of them is.

The neck hits the body at the 17th fret on the treble side. You'd need some deformed flid hands not to be able to reach the extra inch or so beyond that to reach the furthest fret possible unless the heel was made out of acidic razor blades.

The Native; Isn't that the model Daniel Ash uses?

I always wondered how he got the same kind of sounds with his HH Fernandes as his Tele. Well, they're still pretty different, but plenty clangy nonetheless. It's obviously not the same guitar. Guess that HH amp is magic.

It looks similar here, but a different bridge and neck pickup... which model is that?

I don't just like to go up to those frets for single notes. I like to be able to have the option to comfortably reach those highest frets, on both B and E strings, such that each of my fingers occupies a consecutive fret. Reaching over is hardly the way to be able to play like that especially standing.

Corgan used to play one of these.
