Another quality Guitar from Lovies Guitars!
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 1984 Fernandes Brad Gillis Signature ST-155BG Prototype Electric Guitar finished in Red. This is an exceptionally rare prototype of the legendary Brad Gillis Signature model, built during the golden era of Fernandes. Best known for his work with Night Ranger and Ozzy Osbourne, Brad Gillis’ signature style demanded an instrument capable of incredible sustain, expressive tremolo work, and blazing lead performance. Prototype instruments from Fernandes are seldom seen on the market, making this an outstanding opportunity for collectors and players alike.
Built with the precision and quality that made 1980s Japanese guitars world-renowned, this ST-155BG features a fast-playing neck, premium construction, and exceptional balance. Designed for high-performance playing, it excels at everything from soaring lead work to articulate rhythm playing. Whether you’re a collector of rare Japanese guitars or a fan of Brad Gillis, this prototype represents a significant piece of Fernandes history.
Finished in vibrant Red, this guitar proudly wears the honest signs of decades of use. The cosmetic wear tells the story of a well-played instrument while the frets remain in good condition, ensuring it still performs beautifully today.
This guitar is all original (OG) and comes complete with its Original Hardshell Case (OHSC).
Condition: 9.0/10 – Very Good. Very good for its age with heavy play wear throughout. There is heavy buckle rash on the back along with a large cluster of dings. The frets remain in good shape and have plenty of life left, making this an excellent player’s vintage instrument with tremendous collector appeal.
