Description

Edit description

Not everyone wants all the bells and whistles. Sometimes dead simplicity and pure tone is all that's necessary. And this is exactly what this new model, designed by the renowned Dennis Fano (Fano Guitars / Novo Guitars) offers you.

Introducing the Rivolta Mondata II HB: a stripped down, straight-to-the-point iteration of the new Rivolta Guitars Mondata. A stop-tail design, a couple of pickups, and a single toggle switch is more than you need to get the job done on stage, in the studio, or your living room.

This HB version of the guitar is for those of you who've been looking for the same stylings, but with a more traditional pair of humbuckers.
