The one with the P90s does look pretty awesome, reminds of Rickenbacker a bit maybe

A good friend of mine is going down on the 17th to take up an apprenticeship with Mr. Fanner. Now I know how lucky he is!

The one with the P90's remind me of a PRS with P90's (minus the flame top and scratch plate)

Has the same sort of "style" in my mind.

Ric 620 like in your picture: all Maple neck through body, 'crescent wave' horns, flat top, trapeze tailpiece with TOM style bridge and angled away neck, truss rod cover across entire headstock, tuners in line, electronics behind top mounted plastic pickguard, chrome pickup mounts, inlay fret markers, bound fingerboard.
Brian Fanner guitar like in the picture: none of that ?

Well hey, that's what popped in my head when I saw it, what difference does it make. I like the builds, that's the most important thing.
