Fernandes Guitars is a brand of guitars that has its origins in Japan and is its biggest guitar manufacturer.
It brought out several guitars with a finish of popular mascots and franchises, called the "CHARACTER SERIES", in which they used the base of their ZO-3/Nomad model. Only around 2000 Guitars were made of each finish.

For the PaRappa franchise, made in honor of the release of Um Jammer Lammy, they made a total of four different guitars[1], one replica of Lammy's in-game guitar and three with a different finish on the ZO-3 model.
Fernandes UJL-2000[]
The UJL-2000, credited as the Fernandes UmJammerLammy UJL-2000 in the catalogue, is the only non-Nomad model in the PaRappa Fernandes series and is a replica of the cartoon guitar of Lammy in UmJammer Lammy. It is almost identical to Lammy's guitar with a matte yellow finish and blue strat-style knobs, but it lacks the whammy bar.
Where the other guitars were made with a finish in honor of the game/franchise, this guitar was made for a different demographic; The design is short-scale 24″ starter guitar made for young girls/fans of UmJammer Lammy who wanted to learn to play guitar as a result.[2]
