Description:

This is a beautiful Herk Favilla classical guitar made in the 1960s and it is in near pristine condition with a few very small scratches and dings. The only issue is a shrunk pickguard that is common to this model (see pic). It can be easily removed and replaced with a "stick-on". The body is all solid mahogany and the fingerboard is rosewood There is no visible fret wear. The neck is straight and the action is good. It has a wonderful resonant sound.Brothers John (ca. 1871-1956) and Joseph Favilla, after having emigrated from Italy to New York City, formed Favilla Bros. (or Favilla Brothers, predecessor to Favilla Guitars, Inc.) either in 1890 or 1894. By the 1920s, the company had expanded to over 50 employees. The company produced instruments in various New York locations, but around 1930 settled into the West 16th Street location where it would remain until 1959. At that time, Hercules (“Herk”) Favilla, son of John Favilla and a former vaudeville performer, took over the business and renamed it Favilla Guitars, Inc.[1] Herk’s older brother Frank had been running administrative affairs for the company since the late 1940s. John Favilla died in 1956, and when his son Herk took over in 1959, the company was moved to a larger facility in BrooklynInternational buyers, please note:This item ships worldwide.Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
