Good spot Tellboy - the extra scale length of the Fano clears up the bass end though  ;)

The guitar is nice, very nice.  I like it a lot  :)

I tried to get a deal on it with my McCarty Rosewood with birds as a trade in.  They wanted my guitar plus £525  :o  :o  :o

No deal.  However...

I've left my McCarty in for a commission sale and the Fano is on hold for me.  Fingers crossed someone pops into the shop and buys my McCarty......

Do you always deal with the same shop? With all these trade ins and stuff, I bet they hate you coming in, they're never getting to make any money, just rotating stock!  :lol:

Or maybe I just caught them on a good day today, I don't think they could be bothered haggling any more  :lol:

I picked up the Fano JM6 in Lake Placid Blue on my home tonight, and I've just used it for rehearsal with Doppelganger.  It's a cracking guitar, a real all rounder and I love it.  It's now taken the #3 spot in my guitar list  :D

It's a really, really nice piece of kit.  Even Martin likes it and he hates most of my guiars!  :lol:

How did I miss this??

You were saying something about Fano the other day, and I was thinking wtf?

Looks cute... nice one, finally getting you off those stock-broker geetars  :wink:

(Or have I missed something and, in fact, you've already moved on and got another PRS to replace it :lol:)

Nope, still got it.  It's a little cracker that's going nowhere.

I suppose it would burn nicely if you took all the metal and plastic parts off.

Seems to be divided opinions about this one :lol:

I personally wouldn't ask it out, but I can see a certain cuteness about it...

Well I knew the metal guys wouldn't like it.  You only need to look at the cr@p things they play to know that  :lol:
