A versatile pickup suitable for a wide variety of playing styles, the Special T is a great fit for players who find most other similar pickups to be too bright, or those looking for a slightly hotter and darker tone while still evoking the best of the Fullerton-era sound.  We paired it with a  Lollar Imperial Humbucker in the neck position.  It's their  take on the original 1950s P.A.F. pickup. Designed to draw from the long revered qualities of the original P.A.F.s while improving on their frequency balance and giving a slight boost to the bridge pickup’s output, this could be our favorite humbucker out there. Together, they make for an amazing set on an amazing guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an added bonus, this guitar comes with a hardshell case, instead of the regular gig bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColor: Vintage Mary Kaye Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Color: Vintage Amber Tint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUpper Headcap Color: Same as Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLower Headcap Color: Same as Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDistress - Body: Medium\/ Heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDistress - Neck: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBody: Pine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJoint Construction: Bolt-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Shape: Early 60's \"C\" Shape Neck .830 - .920\"  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRadius: Compound 7.25\" to 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFret Wire: 6105 Nickel\/Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInlay Style: Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInlay Material: White Pearloid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTuning Keys: Fano Modern Kluson-style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardware: Medium Aged Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck PIckup: Lollar Imperial Humbucker (Nickel cover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBridge Pickup: Lollar Special \"T\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePickguard: Custom Half 4-ply Tortoise Shell, Half Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBridge: \"Fano\" Vintage Comp Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKnobs: Nickel Barrell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSwitch: 3-Way toggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSwitch Tip: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFano Hardshell Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrings: D'Addario NYXL 10-46\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43088894066931,"sku":"00FAN058","price":4200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img20168.jpg?v=1742318530","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/fano-alt-de-facto-tc6-heavy-distress-blonde-with-gig-bag","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
