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 Does Josh Think?
This is an incredibly well-balanced guitar. Throw it straight in front of just about any type of amp and you’ll benefit from the big bottom of the Fano P-90s, the fat punch of the midrange and the signature P-90 sizzle on the top end.
The neck position is warm and meaty, but with more string definition than you’ll get from a humbucker. In fact, through a Vox-ish amp you you’ll find it serves up tones very much like a single-coil but with more punch and output. Through an American-voiced amp you’ll lean more into the smooth, fat voicing of the lower midrange.
The bridge pickup is a real powerhouse with an organic, raw edge to it. It has bite and a tight bottom end than never falters under huge power chords and even heavy riffing. But it sounds just as good through a lightly overdriven amp, crisp and authoritative.
The middle position is incredibly immediate and spanky. It sounds Strat-like without the quack. It gives your big chords a magnificent shimmer and your funky rhythms plenty of snap.
How Does It Play?
The PX6 neck profile is round and full. Not a baseball bat, but meaty and supportive. The fretwork is impeccable. The string action measures barely a hair over 4/64” on the low E string at the 12th fret and a hair below 4/64” on the high E, nice and low without a buzz.
