The Alt De Facto line of Fano guitars is their "custom shop" equivalent line, offering more build options and more hands-on time with the builders. This is a great example of the top-tier build quality from the Arroyo Grande shop. This JM6 comes with a mahogany body, producing rich midrange tones. The '60's neck carve and compound radius fretboard makes this an extremely comfortable guitar to play and is a really nice balance between vintage specs and modern comfort. As expected, the Lollar Imperial (standard wind) humbuckers sound fantastic in this guitar! Includes a custom embroidered case and documentation as shown.
The condition of this guitar is excellent overall. It has factory relic and aging to the body and hardware, but the frets are in excellent condition and all electronics function as new. The are a few differences in the guitar now compared to the build sheet. The build sheet mentions a gold aluminum pickguard and gold knobs, but it currently has a tortoise pickguard and chrome knobs. It's also currently fitted with a brass nut but the original TUSQ nut is included (honestly, we can't hear any difference between the open strings on the brass nut and fretted strings on the nickel frets - it's more aesthetic than anything).
