| Fernandes Guitars International in association with Lucas Licensing Ltd., a division of Lucasfilm Ltd., is presenting the STAR WARS Retrorocket Collector's Series. Based upon Fernandes' Retrorocket model, these premium Japanese instruments showcase stunning STAR WARS graphics created by using a revolutionary computer controlled painting process. Whether you choose the Darth Vader or the Stormtrooper model, both of these distinctive instruments feature vibrant images on the body and the neck culminating with the STAR WARS logo on the fretboard. Using the classic Alder body/Maple neck and fretboard platform, complemented by our Fernandes "Vintage Elite" pickups (S/S/H), the STAR WARS Retrorockets yield tone to complement their stunning looks. The Fernandes Star Wars models are scheduled to hit music and specialty retail stores in April and May, putting their arrival in close proximity to the May 16th U.S release of the much-anticipated feature film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. While Star Wars Episode I and II characters will possibly be featured on future products, the initial Fernandes offerings will showcase classic Star Wars characters from the original trilogy (episodes IV-VI), including the previously mentioned Darth Vader, along with Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, C-3PO, and many more.
