Thanks for posting some Fannin history, as well as the original brochures. I was aware of the D-37 & D-57 models, as well as a classical, but not the others, good stuff.
I have a 1978 D-57 that I purchased new. A friend of mine worked at Nulook at that time doing setups on the instruments when they'd come in. It has been pretty much my main guitar since. The guitar has held up extremely well over the years, plays great and if anything the sound has gotten richer.
Other than a recent setup, including bridge work, I've done nothing to it outside of playing it and changing strings. If anyone has a chance to get their hands on a Fannin I would highly recommend doing so. They are well crafted and a great value at even the original price.
