Any Fano owners out there?

[FanoFan]

I bought this guitar, Fano Alt de facto JM6, a few years back from Distinctive Guitars in Milwaukie and it has been one of my favorite electrics I've ever owned or played. Anyone else on the board that owns a Fano? I'd love to see some pics or hear your experience.

Nice guitar I’ve played a few when I lived in Sydney and there was a dealer. I really liked the JM6.

I own a Novo Serus TC, the guitars Dennis Fano now makes. It has the best neck I’ve had on an electric.

Great looking JM., My RB6 is the best feeling electric that I’ve ever played. I remember when Dennis Fano was the guitar tech at Matt Uminovs in the 80s. I wish it wasn’t such a pain to upload photos here.

That's a great looking guitar - I owned a Fano Sp6 ( American made ) for a couple of years and loved it - the P90 in the neck was killer....only reason I sold it was (1) the weight and (2) the more than chunky neck that just became overbearing at times.....but tone wise and playability, she was the bees knees.....

I'd love to try a Novo but haven't found a shop that carries them. I've heard nothing but good things about Novo.

Thanks Rumblefish, the feel is what really gets me about this guitar.

The SP6 is what I originally wanted but saw this and pulled the trigger. I will say that the JM6 is a very light and comfortable guitar. I've had a couple Historic reissue Les Paul's with a really chunky neck and couldn't really get along with them so I totally understand.
