DESCRIPTION

Following up on the success of the Rivolta Combinata comes the latest addition to the family: The Mondata. The tradition of offering fresh takes on classic Dennis Fano designs continues with this offset design, incorporating elements of the Fano JM6 and the classic non-reverse Firebird. 

Like the Combinata, the Mondata features a double-bound chambered mahogany body with bound neck and vintage pearloid block inlays. 

You can expect a punchy and clear tone from the Firebird pickups, think 'humbuckers that sound like FAT single coils' and you're there. If versatility is your thing, the two switch configuration gives you every possible pickup combination.

    FUMANTE MINI HUMBUCKERS

    Classic vintage Firebird tones with clear & articulate highs and a rich low end. Our proprietary Alnico V ‘Fumate’ Mini- Humbuckers are wound to Dennis Fano’s specifications.

    RIVOLTA "C+" NECK PROFILE

    Designed with comfort in mind, the Rivolta C+ profile is reminiscent of early 60’s F style guitars, but a little more substantial. The result is a neck that feels comfortably chunky, yet very easy to play.

    RAISED CENTER-BLOCK

    The Mondata features a raised center block; a nod to classic 60’s guitar design. This is paired with German carved wing sections, gentle forearm contour and chambered, mahogany construction, providing additional weight relief for an effortless playing experience.

    TUNE-O-MATIC BRIDGE

    The Mondata VIII features a bridge that does what it's supposed to do: provide easy intonation adjustment and excellent sustain.
