It produces a full, fat rock tone when used with an AC 30 or a tweed amp, and the definition holds together nicely with heavier amp distortion. Features a flat-pole design with Alnico 2 magnets, wax potted coils, and vintage style cloth covered lead wire.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe neck pickup will catch you attention right away, as it's a Lollar Firebird.  Not to be confused with a mini-humbucker with no poles, this humbucker has a unique design and a sound closer to a fat single coil than a full-size humbucker. Compared with a mini-humbucker, it features a brighter overall sound and a bass response that remains tight and defined noticeably longer. It also gives you less snarl and more spank. Made with Alnico 5 blade (pole piece) magnets. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe 60's style C shaped neck is extremely comfortable, and the compound radius (7.25 - 9.5\") is perfect for both chording and lead playing.  The back of the neck is worn in, with most of the finish removed, making it a breeze to play.  This guitar has the feel and vibe of an old vintage instrument but with some modern tweaks, upgrades and reliability.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAny Fano Alt de Facto Builder's Choice is going to be amazing, and this one-of-a-kind TC6 is a great example.  Come to Truetone Music to give it a try, or order right here right now before it's gone.\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#888888\" style=\"color: #888888;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#888888\" style=\"color: #888888;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # 250610\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.2 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Wood: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Maple \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: Compound 7.25\" to 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Early 60's \"C\" Shape Neck .830 - .920 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint Construction: Bolt-on \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Style: Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material: White Pearloid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Wire: 6105 Nickel\/Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Keys: Fano Modern Kluson-style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Color: Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Color: Same as Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Color: Vintage Amber Tint \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper Headcap Color: Same as Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower Headcap Color: Same as Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistress - Body: Heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistress - Neck: Heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Medium Aged Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Lollar Firebird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Pickup: Fano '52 \"T\" Style \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 1-Ply Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge \/ Tailpiece: \"Fano\" Vintage Comp Bridge \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: Nickel Dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch: Tip Knob Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFano Gig bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"wsite-com-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container grid_4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40084261011637,"sku":"00FAN051","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img26167.jpg?v=1751331365","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/fano-alt-de-facto-builders-choice-tc6-heavy-distress-blonde","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
