About Fernandes Guitars
The Fernandes catalog history dates the company's beginnings to 1969 in Japan, initially with flamenco guitars. Its later range included original electric designs and instruments sold under the related Burny name.
Business operations ended in July 2024. The history page explains the subsequent bankruptcy timeline and separates that company history from questions about the brand today.
