That's beautiful. Sad that you don't have that beautiful Creston anymore though.

Well, I didn't play it enough and it needed to go to a regularly gigging musician, so I'm OK with the sale, especially since I now have the Fano, which is a better fit for me.BoringPostcards wrote:That's beautiful. Sad that you don't have that beautiful Creston anymore though.

I've been to one World's Fair, a picnic, and a rodeo, and that's the stupidest thing i ever heard come out a pair of headphones.

Thanks! It combines two of my faves, too. And yeah, I didn't quite get the Creston either and never grew into it, like I thought I would.Con-Tiki! wrote:that's cool!

But man, this Fano, love at first note.

Cash plus a great guitar. Nicely done. I like the bridge plate especially, and those Fano finishes look super comfy.

Fano guitars gets its name from Dennis Fano, the guy who started it all.

Well, upside...the number of guitars hasn't increased.windmill wrote:So how is that guitar clearout going.........

It plays fantastically.The neck, with that compound radius, is crazy easy to around. Man, Fano really has their shit together.

Lots of cool things about this guitar. I really like Fano's take on the Tele bridge. Very nice.
