Up for sale, a 2001 Fernandes Star Wars Limited Edition Retrorocket SW-85DV in collector-grade, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original molded hardshell case and hangtag. Made in Japan (not quite a galaxy far, far away), this rare Fernandes was produced in collaboration with Lucasfilm to celebrate the release of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. One of only 250 instruments, this SW-85DV features a Darth Vader graphic, with an image from the promotional photography of Lucasfilm’s first ever museum exhibition at the Smithsonian, the Magic of Myth.
While it was designed as a collectors item, this Retrorocket is also a terrific player, with a wide array of tones available via the HSS pickup complement. The single coil pickups in the neck and middle position are sparkling and punchy, with sweet treble brilliance, and the bridge humbucker is full, powerful, and focused. This Star Wars Limited Edition Retrorocket SW-85DV weighs 7lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Shape: Medium C, measuring .850” 1st fret, .930” 12th fret
-Fretboard: “STAR WARS” graphic, 22-fret, 12” radius
-Frets: Jumbo, pristine
-Scale Length: 25 ½”
-Nut: 1 11/16”
-Headstock: Imperial crest, Lucasfilm copyright (back)
-Tuners: Gotoh
Body Specs:
-Pickups: SSH
-Controls: Volume, Tone, Five-way pickup selector
-Hardware: Two-point vibrato with block saddles, knurled knobs (black-plated)
-Plastics: Pickup covers with Darth Vader graphic overlay, cavity covers (factory protective film intact)
Ostensibly unplayed for over two decades, there’s barely a mark on the guitar.
The original Star Wars-branded molded hardshell case with commemorative metal plaque is included, along with the Fernandes/Star Wars hangtag.
