Overview

A vintage-inspired Bigsby-equipped model with a wealth of switching options

Following up on the success of the Rivolta Guitars Combinata comes the latest addition to the family: The Mondata XVIII. The tradition of offering fresh takes on classic Dennis Fano design continues with this offset body model, 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. This DLX version also includes a B-50 Bigsby.

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.
