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 and a Les Trem Tremolo.
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.
"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." - Guitar.com
FUMANTE MINI HUMBUCKERS
Classic vintage Firebird tones with clear & articulate highs and a rich low end. Rivolta's 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 '60s 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 '60s 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.
