NAMM 2020: Fano Guitars has announced the Omnis Series, which brings its fresh takes on classic electric guitar outlines to a sub-$999 price point.

Four models will be available at first - the Jazz-esque JM6, LP Jr-ish SP6, GF6 semi-hollow and double-cut MG6 - and each will come in three finishes, including a gigbag.

All four feature alder bodies with polyurethane finishes, satin-finished maple necks and pau ferro fretboards, while Fano’s custom-designed and voiced pickups are the same as those included on the Standard Series.

This is major, major news for fans of vintage-vibed alternative guitars - we can’t wait for these to land in April.
