This fall we are celebrating a Fernandes iconic trademark shape, since it's inception in 1994, the Vertigo (H model in Japan) has brought a new perspective on the way many of us see and feel the electric guitar. Countless artists from different corners of the world, from Hide of X JAPAN to Riggs formerly of ROB ZOMBIE BAND, have used and abused their Vertigo guitars throughout the years, and we will tell you all about it!

Stay tuned for giveaways, promotions, special features, history lessons and more, starting September 22nd and through December 21st. Make sure you are registered to receive the Fernandes newsletter and follow us on facebook and twitter to get all the updates!
