Like what you see? All photos are of the exact instrument you will receive.
Each Fano Oltre series guitar is handbuilt in the USA using an old-growth North American Alder body, maple neck and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The result is a resonant, lively instrument crafted with care and precision. This series allows for a number of customizations, from color to pickguard, knobs to pickups. Models can be built with either a maple or rosewood fretboard to meet the needs of a variety of players. If this isn’t the exact Fano you are looking for, contact us to spec one out precisely to your liking!
What Do We Think?
First off, let’s note the weight! Just 7lb 4oz. This is a light, resonant piece of old growth North American alder paired with a maple fretboard perfectly to drive home some spanky P-90 clean tones. All while the Tune-o-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece provide Les Paul-like sustain on your lead tones.
The neck position Lollar P-90 gives you Strat-on-steroids tones with a delicious midrange and a nuanced bite on the top. The middle position is hum-cancelling if you find yourself in a situation with noisy power or lots of interference, and has an inherent polish and sparkle that will make you want to come back for more.
The bridge position takes you into the territory of a well-rounded early 60’s Tele pickup with a bit of extra warmth, packing a punch and a refined top end that could best be described as articulate rather than strident. The guitar has plenty of output to saturate your tube amp when desired and the volume knob provides excellent control when you want to clean up your more overdriven tones right from the guitar.
How Does It Play?
This beauty sets up with the string action measuring barely a hair over 4/64” at the 12th fret on the low E, and below 4/64” on the high E. There is no fretbuzz. The frets are beautifully dressed and polished. The early 60’s-inspired C profile is temperately slim but with nice shoulders that support the hand.
