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.

What Do We Think?

This guitar hits hard and it hits big. Fano’s own humbucking pickups adorn the alder body, paired with a Tune-o-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. The maple neck gives the guitar an immediacy and responsiveness you might be missing in your other humbucker guitars, while the rosewood fretboard maintains a familiar warmth to each note.

The bridge pickup has a strong midrange that is reminiscent of your favorite Southern rock bands, having more bark than it does honk. It sings through a JTM-or JMP-styled amp. The neck position introduces a bit more natural compression, but not in a flabby way. It sounds lush, but refined. We particularly like this pickup in the 24.75" scale length Fano guitars like this one, where it has a very balanced EQ and snappy low end.

How Does It Play?

The PX6 neck profile is a nice 50’s round C that starts with a moderate depth and really fills out the hand as you arrive at the upper frets. The fretwork on the guitar is impeccable. The string action measures barely a hair over 4/64” on the low E string at the 12^th fret and right under 4/64” on the high E, without any buzz.
