Fernandes Guitars is a Japaneseguitar and accessory manufacturer, that originated in 1969, building flamenco guitars. As the company grew it expanded production to include electric guitars, bass guitars, amplifiers, and accessories to become one of the biggest guitar manufacturers in Japan. Fernandes also owns Burny, a brand for Gibson replicas.

Overview[edit]

Despite its high production figures, Fernandes is better known in the United States for its Sustainer system, which uses electromagnetism^[1] to vibrate a string for an extended period, so long as the user continues to fret a note.^[2] Unlike the similar manual E-Bow sustainer, the Fernandes Sustainer can be used with a standard plectrum, because the sustainer is imbedded in the body of guitar. Fernandes' custom shop has installed numerous Sustainers into guitars built by other manufacturers.

Fernandes continued to manufacture guitars, that cover the range from inexpensive starter models to custom instruments. In 2000, Fernandes made a guitar to promote the video gameUmJammer Lammy, similar to Lammy's guitars.
