Instead of trading or selling a couple of my guitars, I decided to buy this Rivolta Combinata. Figured Fano's are good and haven't heard anything bad about Novos (except I don't like pine for guitar bodies), I know it's their budget line, so figured I'd just flip it if I didn't like it. Turns out to be right up there with some of the nicest guitars I've had. Excellent build and sound. Very comfortable to play. Had a Bigsby on it and asked the seller to just put the stop tail on. That was a great decision. Only guitar all my band mates have wanted to try out.
If anyone is thinking about getting one, I highly recommend it!
Now I won't mind trading off a couple guitars for a Duesenberg later tonight.

I have had an interest in those, but that fretboard inlay is a non-starter for me. A bit too much. Glad to hear you like it though.

I thought I might have that issue, turns out I really don't notice it. But yeah, could be more subtle.
 
Those look and sound nice.

I had picked up a one-off prototype Combinata Jr. a couple of years back, but the neck was painfully thin (even though it as advertised as a "medium C"), so I sent it back.
 
HNGD! Looks gorgeous. I'd really like one with a Bigsby, I think it'd be right up my alley.

I also have a guitar with big inlays and you really don't notice them after a very short time. It's not an issue for me either.
