New model the GF6:

There's also a bass version the GF4:

On Fano's FB page and in some magazine ads. I'm guessing formal debut will be at NAMM.

That bass is extremely gorgeous until I look too long at the pickguard. BURN IT OFF

You know like Dali-esque melting pickguard? :idk:

Meh, me neither.

you have to pay to not relic it
less labour trying to get a decent finish

Yeah, these are gooorgeous body shapes but the relicing kinda spoils it, they'd look better with shiny perfect finishes.

+1 on the relicing.

I'd be all over an unrelic'd version of that guitar

I want to get it and throw in some Telenator CuNiFe pups. Humbucker music does custom order Fanos and its 280 USD for no relicing. That's enough to make me think I could live with a little distressing if I bought one.

Meh, I think they would look better with even a oil finish... or raw wood...

It's easier to shoot a relic-fodder finish than a perfect one that polishes out to a blemish-free gloss. The other advantage to a guitar or bass maker is that you don't have to worry about shop wear killing saleability. Oh, and if you think thin finishes sound better, see the shop wear issue above.

I'd be happier with something like a pair of jeans that have been washed a dozen times then intentionally torn holes, but there are some understandable reasons to not be shiny.
