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?
Candy Apple Orange, Leopard Print pickguard, single open coil humbucker and a trem can only mean one thing. Rock ‘n’ Roll! If you’re looking for a not-so-average offset guitar, this is the ticket.
Although there’s only one pickup, there’s quite a few killer tones thanks to the series/parallel mini toggle. In the standard series mode there’s a strong midrange with great articulation and a tight low end. In parallel you get a slight scoop on the mids and a more single coil character. It can even put you in Tele territory if it needs to. We prefer this to a coil split, as there’s less of a volume drop and more punch.
How Does It Play?
This worn-in beauty sets up with the string action at barely a hair over 4/64” on the low E string at the 12th fret, and under 4/64” on the high E. There is no fretbuzz and the frets are smoothly dressed and polished. The contoured neck heel makes those upper-fret transitions smooth and effortless. The early 60’s-inspired C profile is quite fast, but maintains a nice amount of shoulder to support the hand and thwart fatigue.
