Fano Guitars -Vintage Image With New Sound

Vintage look and feel combined with the features and sound of future guitars. That's the technique of guitar master builder Dennis Fano for his Alt de Facto series.

It's actually not difficult to distinguish the guitar created by these well-known guitar maker. Fano guitars are inspired by the classic look of American guitars in the 1950's combined by the features and sound of the future.

This could be the design philosophy of the master builder himself for all of his latest models. The characteristics are not just any feature included in other models. Each Fano guitar has custom future-inspired features and also a unique classic look of a well- worn guitar with time-tested materials.
For any Alt de Facto series, Fano uses alder, swamp ash or mahogany materials which are time-tested, vintage materials that get better and better over time and age. These are blended with 21st century features such as the compound radius fingerboard, custom wound Fralin pickups including TonePros and Gotoh hardware. All these models have been custom-built to produce different tones for different styles of music.

Perhaps it is a mix and match approach which surprisingly ended up into a unprecedented mix of all that players would want from any guitar - from the comfortable contours that make it simple to sling over the shoulders, to the distressed aesthetics that immortalize the classic feel, to the tones that produce 21th century or modern sound.

The same is their concetpt behind the Fano Sphears creation. Their intention is to make  such models' appearance to remain unaltered from the time guitars came to be. The sophisticated aesthetics and materials along with the vintage accent are rolled in one guitar - the Sphears.

These designs should be simple to function and future-gadgets friendly. The inspiration of the futuristic look and tone were taken from the designs of notable guitar builders Dan Armstrong and Nathan Daniel.

Fano regarded sphears as a retro-futuristic invention employing the blend of classic solid maple and rosewood materials alongside acrylic body core and anodized aluminium tone plates. Their aim for each retro-futuristic instrument is to make it a dependable instrument of every artist.

Both designs include the most advanced features, highly innovative electronics but the mark of a Fano remains very recognizable - the design concept that immortalizes the artistry of classic American electric guitars. These characteristics make each product extraordinary.
