Hello I have a couple of nice Manouche guitars and I'd like to combine them into one even better Manouche guitar.
I have a unique Favino Du Mauro from the early '60s- seems to be a Du Mauro St Louis Blues with a Favino neck and label (I'm told there was a lot of part trading amongst the luthiers back then). I also have a Stringphonic #127, modelled after Gonzalo Bergara's Favino.
I would love to trade them both (possibly with some cash) for a Favino, Shelly Park Montmarte, Busato, or? I'm partial to the Favino neck so let's start there!
If anyone has some interest please me know.

"I'm partial to the Favino neck"... I'm curious, what is the original Favino neck?
I have two Favino type models, one from Dupont and one from DellArte, and the two necks could not be different. Dupont is slim and thin, and DellArte is fat and thick. Which one is closer to the original?!?!?!?!
