Fano Retrosphear Guitar in Saturn Green
With
the Retrosphere Dennis Fano took a bold new approach to building
guitars.
Rather than sticking to the same platform for the electric guitar that has remained pretty much unchanged for more than half a century, Fano brings the electric guitar into the 21st century. Form and function at its best!
The aluminum/acrylic construction not only makes the Retrosphere unique from an aesthetic standpoint, but also produces a massive amount of sustain and tone. Pairing this unique construction with the specially wound Lollar Omni-tron pickups produces a tone that is warm yet still has enough twang and bite to cut through the mix. The twin pickup switches allow for standard on/off operation, as well as "out of phase" combinations.
Not exactly knowing what to expect, we were honestly blown away with how many sounds you can get out of this new creation. Plus, the futuristic/retro look we so enjoy here at Humbucker Music is not bad on the eyes either!
Weight: 7 lbs. 8 oz.
