Here is something very special, a Jacques Favino from 1976!
The body specs are typical Favino: 16 1/2" body with a 4" body depth. The back and sides are Indian Rosewood.
If you like the classic Favino sound on the early Boulou Ferre recordings like Gypsy Dreams and Pour Django, Bireli's early recordings (Swing '81 and Routes to Django), or Han'sche Weiss/Lulu Reinhardt (Lulu Swing) then this is the guitar for you! This instrument produces that classic Favino tone that is honky, nasal, and full of character. There is a pronounced upper midrange hump that is nicely balanced by the gutsy bass that Favinos are famous for.
Favino connoisseurs generally consider his best work to be from the later
60s through the mid-70s, as earlier and later models often have design
differences that make them sound and play differently. Here's a chance
to own one of these highly coveted models that posses the tone and projection that made Favino famous!
