Professional set up with new compensated bone saddle - no need for neck reset - it was born right! Bridge is original yet repaired by us and re-attached. The fingerboard, bridge and head-stock overlay are Brazilian rosewood. Here we have a solid spruce top with modified ladder/fan bracing (producing huge volume, sustain and alarming tone) mahogany back and sides. The F-12-H 12 String is a 12th fret - slot head design and as with all other Favillas, this gem was built with the best of woods available. The Favilla 12 string is a true rarity - as very few where made. I rate these instruments up there w/ Martin Co. Not once have I been disappointed in making the investment or taking time to repair these treasures.
Over the past 2 years I have personally purchased over a dozen guitars and Ukes many of which need some attention - even a neck re-set. Those who are familiar with the Favilla brand swear by them - excellent quality craftsmanship and even finer tone! Vintage 1964 Herk Favilla F-12-H 12 String- VERY Rare!įavilla guitars were made in New York from 1890 and closed their doors in the early 1970's.
