Fannin acoustic guitars were made in Taiwan and Japan from 1978 to 1984 for Larry Lee Fannin (1938 - 2015). The guitars were distributed  through his company Nu Look in Columbus, Ohio. Although Nu Look was a fashion company Larry Fannin was also an enthusiastic bluegrass musician. Models included D-27, D-37, D-57, D-67, D-97 (all steel-string models), F-19 (Folk concert steel-string model), and C-100 and C-190 (Classical nylon-string models).
