The COMBINATA is the evolution of a design which followers of Dennis Fano should be very familiar. The larger and slightly offset body give the COMBINATA a shapely silhouette and more substantial feel. The chambered mahogany body features a German carve top (mahogany on metallics, maple on burst). The 25″ scale maple set-neck sports the comfortably chunky “Rivolta C+” neck profile, with 24 medium jumbo frets and a bound rosewood fingerboard.
The COMBINATA is available in four color choices – Adriatic Blue Metallic, Pomodoro Red Metallic, Toro Black Metallic and Autunno Burst. The Standard model features a compensated wraptail bridge, while the DeluxeTrem model sports a Duesenberg Les Trem II with a roller saddle bridge.

Great to see Denis' designs getting a wider exposure but it might be worth mentioning that, in some cases, these are not photos of actual guitars.
Eastwood are a bit better at design and doing interesting things than they are at factory consistency, but that said it's interesting nonetheless. If a shop takes these in and is willing to set them up and do a second round of QC then they should be a winner. A bit of a shot across the bow at Fano Standards too methinks...
The true test for me of whether they can transcend every Chinese guitar I've ever played is if it is not over-finished. Nothing against a poly urethane finish at all (if that's what it is?) when they are don't well (I.e. thin and not over chintzy), I look forward to seeing one in the flesh.
Very pleased to see 24 frets - I wish more "vintage" style designs had that.
I said maybe.....
if you're going to photoshop something at least make it look nice, those guitars just look horrible. I also don't like Fanos.
Crikey. I'm sure their mother loves them but they look like they're copped from the Gretsch Astro Jet, one of Gretsch's less good ideas from the Baldwin era pit of desperation.

ok it is a heavily borrow design but at least its not another strat/tele/les paul with a different headstock
It's funny how taste works, I don't like like those fanos at all but the Astro Jet is cool as a very cool thing indeed.
Indeed, it's all good, each to his own and all that, I like the bottom half but the top humpy thing looks all wrong to me though I get it's an intended cartoonish Jetsons kind of vibe.
Unless it was the Hannah Montana guitar!
