But this one is especially well done.  The wear is realistic, in the right places, and gives the guitar a great vintage look and feel.  We knew it would be cool but didn't realize how cool until it arrived!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe went for a new twist on this\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eJM6\u003c\/span\u003e, choosing to do it with Suhr Thornbucker pickups. This was the suggestion of Fano's Graham Dowling.  Born out of a desire to give guitarists a humbucking pickup set that has all of the best attributes of the coveted 50’s “patent applied for” style pickups, with none of the downsides, and the inclusion of a few modern touches: four conductor wiring, a variety of spacings, along with the consistency and quality that Suhr is known for.  Balance, clarity and warmth - that's what these pickups are all about.  For the bridge position, this guitar has the new Thornbucker + (Plus), which adds more power and oomph.  This is perfect for players that like a slightly overwound PAF-type tone. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther features include a push\/pull knob for coil tapping, a TonePros bridge, and nickel dome knobs to add to the vintage look.  As an added bonus, this guitar comes in a custom G\u0026amp;G hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny Fano Alt de Facto is special, but this\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eJM6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ereally is something else.  There isn't another one like it out there.  Come to Truetone Music to give it a try, or order right here right now before it's gone!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # 231204\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Color: Amber Burst\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 Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower Headcap Color: Same as Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Wood: White Limba\/Korina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: Compound 9.5\" to 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Early 60's \"C\" Shape Neck .830 - .920 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.50\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint Construction: Bolt-on \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Style: Dots \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material: Clay\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\u003eDistress - Body: Medium\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistress - Neck: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Medium Aged Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Suhr \"Thornbucker\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Suhr \"Thornbucker Plus 50mm\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: 3-ply Parchment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Coil Tap ‐ Push\/Pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge \/ Tailpiece: TonePros T.O.M. and Stoptail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: Nickel Dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip Knob: Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGig Bag \/ Case: G\u0026amp;G Hardshell Custom Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"m_-866882350488380745gmail-wsite-com-product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Fano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216049697011,"sku":"00FAN071","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-DSC_0190.jpg?v=1704911433","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/fano-alt-de-facto-jm6-medium-distress-amber-burst-with-case","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
