How Does It Play?
Fano’s Late ‘50s Roundback neck profile is distinctly Gibson-influenced, but takes the subtle approach where many Gibson reissues go too big. Think of this one as a good example of a real ’59, round but not very chunky. The finish is sanded off the back to give you a perfectly smooth approach as you make your way up and down the fretboard. The string action measures just over 4/64” on the low E string at the 12th fret and right at 4/64” on the high E, without buzz.
