Fano Alt de Facto

Alt de Facto (alternate reality) is a creation by visionary guitar luthier Dennis Fano.  Not a single guitar but an entire line of guitars that “might have been”, the Fano Alt de Facto line up consists of guitars that might have been seen in the early days of electric guitar if all the major companies were designing guitars together under one roof.  This collaboration of pioneering electric guitar geniuses would have put their heads together on some pretty unique designs is what Dennis thinks, thus he imagined what could have happened and the Fano Alt de Facto series was born.  From the LP Jr/Tele mashup of the Alt de Facto SP6 to the Ricken-style RB-6, the Fano Alt de Facto series has a guitar for just about anyone.  Taking some of the best or most unique features of different guitars and putting them together, Fano Guitars has developed this unique line of instruments that appeal to not only the vintage enthusiasts but also to the younger, hipster crowd.  Most Fano Guitars are done in a slightly aged fashion with some actual relics but mostly lightly checked nitro finishes and slightly distressed hardware and all for a price that is less than most aged custom shop guitars.  Fano Alt de Facto guitars are individually hand-made with the utmost care and attention to detail for an unforgettable playing experience.  When the same ol’ guitars you’ve been seeing and playing for years get you down, or you’re finally tired of the “classics”, the Fano Alt de Facto series might be a refreshing breath in an otherwise stale market.
