Hey, did you ever see that Italian movie from the ’60s? I think it was Fellini, or maybe Antonioni. There’s this cute girl (or was it a cute boy?) zipping around Rome on a tomato-red Vespa, with a matching guitar slung across his/her back. (Without a case, naturally.) Anyway, I’m pretty sure that’s where I saw the Rivolta Combinata for the first time.
What? It’s a new guitar? Oops. And why was I thinking Italy? Well, the name, obviously. Rivolta Combinata is Italian for “revolting comb-over.” Just kidding! Rivolta means “revolt,” and combinata means “combined,” as in hybrid.
Which makes sense. The model is the latest creation from American luthier Dennis Fano, who made his name with über-hip axes that mashed up various vintage guitar designs with gleeful abandon-there’s combinata for you! And Rivolta exists thanks to a revolt of sorts against traditional guitar retailing: After selling the still-extant Fano Guitars brand, the luthier partnered with the Eastwood Custom Shop, which financed the Combinata’s development via crowd funding and pre-orders. Also, Asia-made Rivoltas are substantially less expensive than U.S.-made Novo earlier creations.
Many of Dennis' instruments, with their heavily distressed finishes, looked like they’d been kicking around the rec room for a decade or two. In the coolest possible sense, of course. But the glossy Rivolta finish is miles from that cargo-shorts-casual style.

Excellent Demo. Everything Dennis Fano touches stays in tune and sounds amazing. He is the top boutique builder working today.. IMHO.
Great Demo John - you chose the perfect material to demo the pickups and tones. Thanks much!! I guess I have to go buy one now...................
Mr. Bohlinger -- I really love watching your review demos. First, because I get to find out about some very cool equipment such as this very impressive guitar, but mostly because it means that I get to listen to you play. Your versatility is amazing -- you jump effortlessly between styles -- and your nuanced technique is just so incredibly tasty. I'll probably never get the opportunity to hear you in concert but I get to geek out listening to these great videos on a fairly regular basis, 'which is a pretty fair second choice.
Thanks Leslie, you are too kind. I do have a blast test driving this gear. Thanks for watching. Play on, amigo.
I realize Im pretty off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch new movies online?
@Keagan Carson flixportal :P
@Jamie Matthias thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) I appreciate it !!
@Keagan Carson Happy to help xD
This guy has already made two sales from me. I bought the Telecaster Elite and this combinata but with a trem. Well done John. Well done.
SPOON SMITH hey you! Give me your cash!
Is there an internet acronym for "Wow'ed Out Loud"? Cos I just did that. WOL. 😁👍
- few guitars tick *all* my boxes. This is spectacular.
That guitar sounds great and looks cool also. The 90's really sound good in all applications.
The carve around the edge reminds me of Airline and Mosrite guitars. On Mosrites, it's known as the German Carve.
Pretty cool...a Ric 381 meets an LP Special...dig it...!
Body is based on a Ric Combo 600 from the 50s. So cool.
Very cool looking guitar, will definitely check them out..I like P90s..and the versatility of the sounds.
Here in the 2020 future, our Adriatic Blue Metallic Combinata VII's have gold plexi pickguards and truss rod covers. Not sure which I like better. Also nice take on Take Five!
I'm getting one soon. Can't wait
Beautiful just beautiful!!
Great play!
NICE PLAYING JOHN!
Kinda Fano which I like RB6. I have one w TV Jones but gassing for this p90 job.
Nice playing mate.
I just realized the body shape's that of a mid 50s Rickenbacker Combo 600. Not a bad body choice.
John can play any style thats insane
A thing of beauty!
Great video! How much does it weigh?
The jangly aspect is possibly on purpose. After all, it is based on a Rickenbacker Combo 600.
Love the wide fingerboard with the beautiful fret markers. And that sexy bodywork! This one, and Bill Nelson's Astroluxe Cadet! This company is on a roll!
Totally agree! 👍
I'd have a very hard time choosing between the two!
Does it have a chunky or slim neck?
Dude can play.
I have no electric guitars but need one. So is this guitar a good all around if I’m only getting one guitar?
No, go with a classic...LP or Tele or Strat FIRST...then play the field for others to join the harem.... Go used.
HEY John! Take Five! ... you're working to hard...
haaaa.
Nice chord progression
I think this sounds great & looks awesome except those fret inlays which look really tacky to me....
Looks like an Italia Mondial Classic
That guitar is RIVOLTING!
I think I would like these BUT the logo is too huge it makes the headstock look ugly.
Its rosewood fingerboard , chambered mahogany body
a little Brubeck... thanks!
the coolest
...Combinata somethin for Jack White?? ;)
Reverb?!
That guitar looks to be very nearly the same shape (and even color) of the new Supro guitars... (I admittedly didn't watch the whole video).... is it a factory clone? Made in Korea by any chance?
Nice take 5
I had one, it was ok, but for the $1200 I paid I'd definitely get something different. I ended up selling it.
Cool looking, the sound was a bit disappointing.
Confused....these are P90's...he kept referring to them as nice sounding humbuckers. P90's are single coil
I think they might be similar to P100's where they're stacked to remove the hum? My only guess.
Can someone tell Rivolta to make more lefties? lol Someone with more clout than me obviously
A Korean cheaper Fano Guitar??? But $1300 is cheaper but needs to be less than $1000
bad hair day
Nah. He told the stylist he was going for the Nick Nolte Mugshot look.
Totally.
Guitar looks great and sounds like a Chinese squire.
