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 Does Josh Think?
I’m borrowing the following from the writeup I did for another PX6 loaded with Lollar Imperial humbuckers, because it just fits so well:
The neck position has a delightfully crisp delivery on the upper strings and a thick, wah-like resonance on the low strings. Think “Sweet Child ‘O Mine” tone to get you started, but then imagine it with a wider EQ spread from top to bottom. Chewier lows and snappier highs. Rarely do we find a neck position with this kind of 3-dimensional character.
The bridge position has a strong but balanced midrange presence. This gives it the perfect punch for pushing an amp. From brisk edge-of-breakup to big crunch tones to soaring higher gain leads, this pickup is likely to become a staple in your overdrive arsenal.
The middle position is open and dynamic. It dishes out beautiful tones on a clean channel with a firm and controlled bottom leading up to sparkling upper register. Whether playing big open chords or leaning into more complex voicings with tightly-clustered intervals, this position gives you loads of clarity and note independence.
How Does It Play?
The neck feels like a cross between an old Tele and a ’59 LP. It is round but not baseball bat. Full but not cumbersome. The finish is sanded off the back for a smooth feel and the string action hovers right around 4/64” at the 12th fret without buzz.
