Fano Psonicsphear

By 2012, New Release 3 Comments

Introducing the new Fano Psonicsphear. Dennis Fano drew on numerous retro-future archetypes from film, architecture and pop culture as well as vintage guitars born of forward thinking designs and choice of materials. He was inspired by the look and tone of Dan Armstrong plexiglass guitars. Another inspiration was the guitars made by Nathan Daniel at Danelectro. However, the Psonicsphear is something completely different – futuristic but with a pinch of retro – and a guitar you can rely on as a serious tool.

Fret-King Black Label Corona GW

Fret-King Black Label Corona GW
