1968 Favino 335 Copy

   

 

One 335! No matter who would have sought Gibson at all costs, from Orville with Kalamazoo... Me, I am rather glad to fall on this FAVINO, made by the Jacques father in the years 60'. Alas not of label (taken off?) nor of job number which would have however allowed me more identification... It was common, Jacques Favino having made of serious follow-up only since 1968 (its notebooks being preserved by his/her son!) One sees well nevertheless that it saw the sun, considering the traces of change of color under Bisgby and the rest... With the passage microphones, simple winding "RV Tonemaster", as on my Royal, manufactured by "Radio operator Video Stevens" (i.e. Stéphane Brammer with... Paris!!!) It was micro the type for Parisian violin makers (Jaco', Ohio, Di Mauro and thus Favino) between 1956 and 1964 (it was the small Jean-Pierre which was going to seek them after the school!). Although Jacques Favino also made make microphones by a buddy plumber (who had bidouillé to him even his machine to be wound) and with plastic caps boiled in the family kitchen... Under the reverser, the white disc made with the hand by Jacques Favino him even...
