Fano Guitars -Vintage Image With Cutting-edge Sound

By Lance Sermons


Vintage visual appeal together with the features and sound of tomorrow's guitars. That's the concept of guitar master builder Dennis Fano for his Alt de Facto series.

It's actually not difficult to distinguish the guitar manufactured by Fano. Fano guitars are inspired around the classic look of American guitars back in the 1950's combined by the features and sound of the future.

This is the design philosophy of the master builder himself for all of his latest models. The options are not just any feature included in other models. Each guitar has custom future-inspired features and a unique classic look of every distressed guitar with time-tested materials.

For the Alt de Facto series, Fano uses alder, swamp ash or mahogany materials which have been time-tested, vintage materials that will get even better after some time and age. These are mixed with twenty-first century features for example the compound radius fingerboard, custom wound Fralin pickups including TonePros and Gotoh hardware. Most of these designs have been custom-made to form different tones for different types of music.

It may be a mix and match approach which surprisingly was discovered as a phenomenal blend of everything that players would wish from any guitar - from the comfortable contours which make it not a worry to sling across the shoulders, to the distressed aesthetics that immortalize the classic feel, to the tones that produce 21th century or modern sound.

This is in fact their concept behind the Fano Sphears creation. Their aim for these models is to make the appearance remain unaltered from the time guitars came to be. The futuristic aesthetics and materials along with the vintage accent are packaged in one guitar - the Sphears.

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

Fano regarded sphears as their retro-futuristic invention along with the mix of classic solid maple and rosewood materials as well as acrylic body core and anodized aluminium tone plates. Their aim is that each and every retro-futuristic instrument will serve as a trusted instrument of every artist.

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