\r\n\r\n<\/title>\r\n<\/head>\r\n<body>\r\nThis guitar represents the final culmination of over 50 years of Favino\r\nguitars. Jean-Pierre has taken the lessons of his father to improve the\r\nplayability, volume, and tone of the Favino guitar. The body is smaller\r\nthen the original Favino. It is actually nearly identical to a Selmer:\r\n15 3\/4″ wide, 4″ deep. Scale length is 666mm which is slightly\r\nshorter then a Selmer (670mm). The back and sides are amazing Brazilian\r\nRosewood, the top is Spruce, and it has a Maple neck. Other innovations\r\ninclude the solid wood tailpiece (ala Benedetto) and a fingerboard\r\nextension that goes all the way to up the 24th fret. This guitar also\r\nhas very cool little position markers which I’ve only seen on one other\r\nFavino. There is a piezo pickup mounted under the top, with a jack on\r\nthe bottom bout.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis guitar is without a doubt both the loudest, and most playable\r\nSelmer type guitar I’ve ever come across. Rarely do these two\r\nattributes occur in one guitar. The smaller body yields a clear,\r\ncutting high end that is incredibly present yet not harsh. The sound is\r\nvery dry with no sympathetic ringing, strange harmonics, etc. Every\r\nnote has a very strong, and clear fundamental. And unlike most guitars\r\nwith a smaller body, this guitar still has some decent low end. So it\r\ncan still handle rhythm well. The guitar “speaks” very easily….even\r\nthe lightest pick attack will produce substantial volume.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nOverall, I would definitely describes this guitar as the ultimate\r\nmodern Gypsy jazz lead machine. If you like to play Minor Swing one\r\nmoment, and then Donna Lee the next, this is the guitar for you. Any of\r\nthe high speed, modern Gypsy-Bop licks of Bireli, Stochelo, etc. are\r\neasily executed on this guitar. It almost plays itself.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe guitar is in excellent condition with no cracks or dings at all.\r\nLooks like it has less then 100 hours of playing on it.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"favino front.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.djangobooks.com\/archives\/favino front.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" border=\"0\" \/>\r\n<p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"favino close front.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.djangobooks.com\/archives\/favino close front.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" border=\"0\" \/>\r\n<p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"favino back.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.djangobooks.com\/archives\/favino back.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" border=\"0\" \/>\r\n<p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"favino close back.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.djangobooks.com\/archives\/favino close back.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" border=\"0\" \/>\r\n<p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"favino side.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.djangobooks.com\/archives\/favino side.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" border=\"0\" \/>\r\n<p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"favino close side.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.djangobooks.com\/archives\/favino close side.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" border=\"0\" \/>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This guitar represents the final culmination of over 50 years of Favino guitars.
