    I really like the Mondata. Almost a Thunderbird vibe to the body shape, the vintage burst finish just works so well with the 2 piece bridge and the white binding just ties it all together. And I really liked all the tones available. I'd probably only use a couple of them but the versatility is pretty impressive.

  • @stephenlawn159
    @stephenlawn159 2 роки тому +11

    Nice review, Darrell! Rivolta guitars are just excellent. I have the Mondata Baritone VII, love it. Its electronics are configured the same as the Mondo Mondata, which it looks like you have there. The P90 is stacked for hum cancelling. The switch closest to the volume knob is a phase switch. Functional in the center position, it switches the phase relationship of the 2 pickups. In phase or out. The switch nearest the tone knob is a coil tap switch for the Humbucker. The Mondata bodies are chambered, which accounts for the light weight.

    • @jasonmorgan4448

    I own and play my Rivolta Combinata on a regular basis and it is one of the best sounding and playing guitars own. Mine has P90's with a smooth as silk Duesenberg tremolo. Everything about this guitar is quality. This guitar played superbly right out of the box and I have done nothing to it. The unique look turns heads every time and the tones are superb. I highly recommend the Combinata if you are looking for something out of the ordinary.

BUT, these have dots? Went to the website and discovered that the Mondo series uses dot inlays - YEA. But what I really want is the Combinata VII (2 - P90's, and wraptail) with dot inlays. Sadly, not in the lineup (yet????).

    A few points that might be important to some (or most) guitar players.
    Both of these guitars are chambered.
    They have 24 fret 25” fingerboards with a somewhat flat ish radius (think some Les Paul years)
    They are made in Korea, but gone over and tweaked in the Nashville Nova factory (which is a big part of the superb build quality )
    Question…is the P-90 stacked? (It sounded fairly quiet, but hard to tell)
    My Combinata XVii has traditional P90’s.
    Stacked is usually a different sound, but quiet.

    Talking about not ordinary guitars, check out «Italia». Trev Wilkinson’s brand. Unique. Very 50s and 60s inspired design. Tried the Italia Mondial 10 years ago in Austin. Regret not buying it every single day. It has a Piazo bridge, with controls and a jack outlet. It also has two humbuckers with their own set of controls and their own jack outlet. Great playability. But rather expensive.

    Cos I didn't know they were mahogany..and set necks...AND well contoured at the heel...3 things that are always high on my checklists.
    I have been wanting a Fano Jm6 HARD for a few years... Loving that classic Jazzmaster shape with all the curves and "bubble" body shapes Fender is famous for.
    ..Aswell as it having the hardware of a Rocker (stoptail/TOM..HH)..
    But it's still just a bolt-on alder affair..
    a set mahogany neck/body is a BIIIG plus in a "Rockers".
    Yeah....high on my list, a Rivolta. Which one, though..?
    Hmmmm...I can't really say just yet...but I do love that Jazzmaster shape, and the Modana (I think...the sunburst one) has that "stylised", "impressionist" JM shape to it. So one of them....but with a metallic paint finish.

    Both sound MEAN as hell…I’ve been looking at a ton of guitars the last 2 months…have about $1500 to spend….I play in a Tom Petty tribute band around DC/Baltimore area, you think one of these would be a good choice Darrell? I can definitely see something like this in Mike Campbell’s hands. Thanks dude

    feel like you need to hear surf music played on those to know the score, thats what they are obviously designed to emulate, lots of Mosrite style looks
