I believe so.

Necro because I just played a bunch of these when I was visiting Seattle. Holy crap, I am in love with them. Pics, because fuck yeah!

The lot of Fano's they had at this place:


The amp I played them through:


I don't think this place had one bad guitar:

They do. Its on the order sheet. Also when I tried to place an order for a specific nut width and neck carve I was told a resounding NO FUCKING WAY soooo that pretty much killed fanos appeal for me seeing as how all their necks are baseball bats.

I think those are probably Lollar Firebird pups (which Fano uses a lot), which are a different beast to mini-humbuckers. Vintage-spec Firebird pups (which Lollar and others make but for some weird reason Gibson don't) have amazing bite and clarity. Kind of like a combination of the best things about a good single coil and a good humbucker would into one shiny silver package. They've got a bit of Fender twang, which a P90 won't deliver. Most accurate description I've ever heard is that Firebird pups are "like a pissed-off Tele".
There's a Fano up fro grabs on OSG now that looks really nice, too:
