The COMBINATA XVII is the evolution of a design with which followers of Dennis Fano should be very familiar. The larger and slightly offset body give the COMBINATA a shapely silhouette and more substantial feel. The chambered mahogany body features a German carve top (mahogany on metallics, maple on burst). The 25″ scale maple set-neck sports the comfortably chunky “Rivolta C+” neck profile, with 24 medium jumbo frets.
Percussive highs, defined lows and a snarling mid-range. Our proprietary, Alnico V ‘Novanta’ P90’s are wound to Dennis Fano’s specifications.
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.
The elegant, sweeping German Carve adds a classic, vintage appearance and depth to the Combinata’s aesthetic. Alongside the chambered mahogany core, the carve also adds additional weight relief to the instrument for an effortless playing experience.
Lightweight, aluminum wrapover bridge, machined to allow perfect intonation and excellent tuning stability.
