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 "Silver Surfer" MG6 not only transcends space, but tonal boundaries as well! The one-piece aluminum pickguard sitting on an Inca Silver alder body is a really cool aesthetic, topped off with some nickel-covered Fano humbuckers that absolutely sing.
Speaking of pickups, these humbuckers sit in the medium output range, allowing for both clarity and punch. The bridge pickup has a nice snap thanks to the Gotoh 510 Vintage Trem, and a thick but well-sculpted lower midrange. It sounds great with some gain, and cuts very nicely.
The neck pickup has a nice chirp in the high end, complemented by a warmer lower register. There's some very rich harmonic content here, delivering a really pleasant playing experience. You don't have to work this guitar hard at all; it produces great tones with ease. When plugged into a Marshall JCM 800, you can nail some Tom Morello inspired riffs and sounds.
How Does It Play?
The neck profile is a moderate “early 60’s” C that leaves enough on the shoulder to support the hand and prevent fatigue, while affording a thin enough profile for blazing fretwork. The string action hovers barely a hair over 4/64” on the low E at the 12th fret, and under 4/64” on the high E without any buzz. Generous body contours and a heel contour make this guitar especially easy to navigate.
