Unfortunately, no.

Apparently, Fernandes offered the 'Sustainer' as a kit, but quickly backed
out of it because there was no incentive to buy Fernandes guitars.  At
least that's what the salesmen told me.  They are a pretty reputable shop
and a Fernandes Authorized Dealer as well.

The Fernandes guitars are not bad, though.  I was thinking of purchasing
one as a second guitar.  Or if you could find a used one cheap, it might be
interesting to pull the electronics and put them in your favorite axe.
