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?

Fano weighed this one in at 7lb 4oz, a very light JM6 indeed! And the guitar does feel light on its toes as well. The Fano P-90s are full but articulate.

The neck position is fat and warm on the bass strings, with singing treble strings up top. The result is a depth that is marked by clarity rather than incoherence. Clean tones are rich and lush. It’s quite fun to add a bit of drive in the neck position too though, dishing out thick lead tones and chunky rhythm chords.

The bridge position is round, but incredibly transparent. It has some pretty stout output, so it loves taking your clean channel into edge-of-breakup territory. When cranking the gain, the bottom end is big and tight but the transparency remains intact!

The middle position has a nice snap, almost like the middle position of a Telecaster. It’s open and chimey when playing chords, crisp and punchy when playing country-style double-stops and chicken pickin’.

How Does It Play?

The string action hovers right around 4/64” at the 12^th fret without buzz. The back of the neck is sanded down perfectly smooth, so you’ll never have an issue with stickiness as your hand heats up. And that’s good because the early 60’s-inspired C profile is very comfortable and encourages plenty of movement. The contoured neck heel makes even the last few frets accessible so no need to hold back.
