Don't hate on other players' gear. If its not your style, you can either convey your distaste respectfully, or not at all. This is a subreddit for civil discussion, not hate and trolling. Don't pawn your stuff here. There are other subreddits to look for gear and to sell it, one of which you will find below. Moderators have full discretion.
Other subreddits you might like. LAST EDIT: don't bother reading all that stuff below the line. I proved I was no Fernandes expert with all that woo-haa and bad research. Your guitar seems to be a LE1-Z: I was confused by the existence of the ' LE-1, which seems to be the Made in Japan version, ending production in 1997. I guess they brought-back the model and gave it the 'Z' designation for the Chinese-made, more contemporary product.
A beginner-level product, probably worth no more than $100 used. I'm not a Fernandes expert, but I may have found some mildly interesting stuff. Note that your guitar has a single-ply pickguard.
Because of this, I would identify it at an LE-2 (finish code '2TS', for 'Two Tone Sunburst). But if you look around, you'll see that.LE-2' guitars all seem to be Made in Japan-not China. Production of 'LE-2' models ended in 1997, and that's about the time that many Japanese guitar companies started producing guitars in China. I wonder if there was some Chinese production of this model at the tail-end of it's production-run. Or maybe production continued on in China after 1998, and they changed the model number. If so, I haven't been able to find that model number.
Here's a match for your Made in China Fernandes. Note that the seller mixes-up model and serial number. Also note how close the serial number is to your guitar. I would think the used value on your guitar is around $100. (I think the seller of that eBay guitar is a bit over-priced). EDIT: additional info: SECOND EDIT: additional info.
About the used price-I found this 'Fernandes Stratocaster' (I'm sure GC's Fender rep loves that sort of thing), in Guitar Center's used inventory. Looks like the same model as yours-different color, obviously-and made in China. GC's price will be a retail price, Craigslist type, peer-to-peer pricing is usually less:.
The Fernandes LE-2 was made between 1991 and 1998. The LE-2 was based on the vintage Stratocaster design and aimed to replicate the classic feel and tone of that instrument. The LE-2 was available with gold hardware (as the LE-2G) or chrome hardware (LE-2 or LE-2N) and in right or left handed configuration. The LE-2N had an ash body (with brighter tone) and a tortoiseshell pickguard. Pickups were three Fernandes VS-4 single coils.
Available with the Fernandes Sustainer System as a factory fitted option. No image yet.
