The picture is from another forum

Anyone know what is the offset in the lower left corner of the picture ?

I think I can work out what the rest of them are !

Looks like one of those 70's Japanese guitars...

I think it's a Fano Alt de facto JM6. Kind of like a one off.

Yeah, headstock looks like a Fano, but its been modded with the tri sonic pickups.

Wild guess here; a Queen related forum?

That's so funny. When you have 25 replicas of the red one, but still manage to order a Fano ... set up like the red one .... ;D

Are they supposed to sound like Brian May's Red Special or something? As much as his homemade guitar is the sound, John Deacon's 'Deacy' amp he built from parts he found out of a trash bin is equally as important for that iconic Queen sound.

Those tri-sonic pickups look mighty sexy. How do they sound? Mojo has 'em. :ph34r:

Thanks. I'm pretty positive there was an OSG thread on it a while back. I think this is it. Images won't load for me though. I don't think they exist on the FANO page any longer. But here ya go.
