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 Does Ivey Think?

This guitar has an exceptional natural resonance before even plugging it in. The highs are airy and the low end has plenty of depth. It's no surprise that once it's plugged in it delivers some spectacular tones. The maple fretboard, brass saddles, and proprietary bridge offer sparkling highs that are well-received through the Fano branded pickups.

The bridge position dishes out those iconic, snappy tele tones you'd expect with a unique low-end punch that the shorter scale length adds into the mix. It rounds out on top very nicely without losing any of the traditional vibe. This pickup works well with overdrives that add a little more midrange without having any unpleasant, nasally build-up. It has an open character and just the right amount of output to bridge the gap between vintage and hot.

Moving to the neck pickup, you'll find some buttery lower mids to perfectly accompany bluesy lead lines and first-position riffs. There's a natural compression that feels great when you dig in, having a throaty SRV-inspired attack and just enough top-end snap to help things cut. It mixes very well with the bridge pickup, delivering a middle position that has plenty of chime and balanced lows.

How Does It Play?

The string action on this beauty sets up just where we like it, straddling 4/64” by a touch above the line on the bottom strings and a touch below on the top strings. There is no fretbuzz. For the neck profile, think Gibson’s recent and moderate take on a ’59 reissue neck. It is nice and round and oh-so-comfortably chunky.
