Rivolta Mondata XVIII
Following up on the success of the Combinata comes the latest addition to the family: The Mondata XVIII. 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. 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.

This Rivolta is in very good condition. Minimal fret wear. There are some scratches on the pickguard from normal playing wear as well as on the body. Some of the gold finish on the pickups covers and hardware has worn off. Please note: there is also some finish bleed from the fingerboard thats on some of the inlays (see picture) does not affect the playability at all.
