Dell Arte's Hommage model has long been considered one of the best Favino copies available. Handmade in San Diego by John Kinnard, this model features a European spruce top, a three piece highly flamed maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard. It has been fitted with a set of three on a plate Schaller tuners and a nickel DR tailpiece. A strap button was installed in the heel. A bigtone pickup is also included (a $400 value!)
The tone is pure Favino! Strong nasal upper mids, deep low end, and loads of BARK! Setup is perfect with action at a very slinky 2.6mm. It is strung with 11 gauge Argentine strings...very, very easy to get around on.
The condition is near mint, with only one small ding on the top and some very light pickwear. The frets look new.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a bigtone equipped, handmade instrument for less. The perfect guitar for the serious player on a budget!
This is the CASH price...add 3% if you'd like to pay with a credit card. 4% for International orders.
