Fano Alt de Facto SP6
ProGuitarShopDemos | 2011/02/24 |
This is the Fano Alt de Facto SP6, a handcrafted blend of classic 50's styling and modern sensibilities. Fano's Alt de Facto models takes you to an alternate reality where early innovators of the guitar collaborated to create one spectacular lineup. The unbelievable vintage look of the Fano SP6 comes from its Reso-O-Cream nitro lacquer finish that implies the look of a recently unearthed instrument. The Fano Alt de Facto SP6 has a singing swamp ash body and late 50's round back maple neck like your favorite American guitar, however, Fano brings this SP6 into the 21st century with a 22 fret rosewood board equipped with a 10-16" compound radius. This allows for fast, unrestrained bends up high and a rounder radius for lower chords. All the twang you need comes from a hybrid ashtray style bridge with compensated brass saddles, for better intonation. And a custom pair of Fralin pickups give this Fano both warmth and grit with a T style in the bridge and a fat P-90 in the neck. The Fano Alt de Facto SP6 control plate includes a 3 way switch and a unique 16 position Tonestyler circuit that retains resonance and midrange while shaping just treble frequencies. Topping off this superb creation is the distinct Fano two-tone headstock loaded with Gotoh Kluson tuners. - http://proguitarshop.com/store/guitar...
