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?
This Fano TC6 in Sonic Blue has the look and feel of a perfectly worn-in vintage guitar. The sanded-down neck feels great to play and the medium distressing on the body looks just right. The offset/contour heel joint opens up the higher frets all the way up through the cutaway. This is the perfect T-Style for someone who wants bigger, thicker, meaner tones than a traditional Tele can offer.
The Fano P-90s are rich and thick in the midrange, balanced by a nicely tailored top-end. They sound absolutely phenomenal with the maple fretboard, making good use of the extra “cut” and snap the maple provides. When paired with a vintage Marshall style amp, the bridge position comes across very close to the intro riff tone of “Hold on Loosely” by .38 Special.
The neck position has a little more spank than your average neck position because the pickup is pulled further from the neck and closer to the bridge. Without losing warmth, this allows the midrange to remain nice and open. Even the low strings stay nice and clear. And for ultimate spank and sparkle, go to the middle position.
How Does It Play?
The early 60’s-inspired C profile is temperately slim, but with a nice amount of shoulder to support the hand and thwart fatigue. The fretwork is impeccable. The string action hovers around a low 4/64” at the 12th fret, without any buzz.
