The Return of a Tone Titan — Now in Dazzling Candy Apple Red.

Back by popular demand and bolder than ever, the Rivolta Mondata XVIII makes its triumphant return — this time with a fresh Candy Apple Red finish that demands attention.

Crafted in limited numbers by the expert luthiers at MIRR Korea, this reissue stays true to Dennis Fano’s original design — a daring blend of offset attitude and refined craftsmanship. The Mondata XVIII’s chambered mahogany body, raised center block, and sleek German carve top create a resonant, dynamic foundation with unmistakable visual flair.

Equipped with a trio of Rivolta’s custom-wound pickups and versatile switching options, the Mondata XVIII delivers everything from punchy midrange growl to sparkling cleans — all with clarity and character. Whether you're chasing the raw energy of garage rock or the precision of modern indie tones, this Candy Apple Red edition is built to stand out — sonically and visually.

Only 8 Mondata XVIIIs in Candy Apple Red have been made. Get yours before it's gone!

"Everything this guitar does has a full-frequency hi-fi quality that belies its pawn shop looks. All three pickups are on the powerful side, and while the bridge unit is the most ‘retro’ in terms of top-end bite and Gretschy twang, it retains plenty of body and never gets nasal."

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

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.
