There also an air of quality about the fit and finish and this is a serious guitar that's bolted together as well as any!So if you chance to find one of these or indeed any guitar with a vintage strat neck profile, give it some time in your hands and you'll be rewarded. However, it wasn't long before the neck fit as well as my winter gloves and cords were a pleasure to play, even the more finger stretching and bar variety (purple rain is a standout knuckle buster). Sometimes, I would fret notes incorrectly as my fingers acclimatized to the new environment - and this is not a flaw on the part of Fernandes, but rather something you can expect when making a change from any modern board to vintage. I had played vintage strat in the past, but this was my first vintage guitar to sit down with and attempt a lexicon of licks and runs with in quite a while. For starters, if your moving from something along the lines of a modern neck profile, well then give yourself time to become accustomed to the neck. Well, I mentioned it compared quite favorably to the original 64', but what does this mean in practice. But all this is of course redundant rhetoric if the guitar doesn't play well and feel right.
