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?
The Lollar P-90 pickups give you a variety of tones in different positions. From rock ‘n’ roll snarl on the bridge to chimey cleans in the middle to a warm, deep voice on the neck, this guitar is ready to deliver across a multitude of needs and genres.
The bridge position has a present midrange that delivers excellent bite with becoming nasal in quality. It is a dynamic pickup that sounds killer in front of clean and Marshall-esque amps alike. Through the latter, give it your best Pete Townsend impression and enjoy big classic rock chords that sustain without effort.
The neck P-90 is smooth with a little “squish” in the delivery. It sounds organic and woody, almost 335-ish in its response. Yet it also preserves wonderful note definition, much more so than a humbucker for point of comparison. With overdrive it retains its round, smooth character with ease. Roll back the tone a little to dive into some Eric Clapton “woman” tones.
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 string and just under 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 a nice amount of shoulder to support the hand and thwart fatigue.
