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 bigtone pickup is also included (a $480 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 2.5mm. It is strung with 10 gauge Argentine strings...very, very easy to get around on.
The condition is near mint, with just a few scratches and dings on the body. The frets have some very light wear.
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.

Dell Arte Hommage 2006
Back in the days I had an Angelo Debarre Hommage...sold it and always regretted it...A few weeks ago I saw Michael has this stunning Hommage 2006 big mouth...Drove to Seattle to meet Michael and demo the guitar...after 1 min only I decided to buy it...typical Favino sound and body ...low action, perfect condition as advertised on Djangobooks. First time I deal with Michael, he is pro and friendly, great communication and awesome new guitar for my collection!
