~1953 Favilla C6 Concerto Classical Natural
No sales tax for customers outside California.
This early 50s Favilla classical is a nice sounding guitar made of old, solid woods that give much more than you'd think when looking at the price tag. It has a nice spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and Brazilian rosewood fretboard/bridge.
The guitar has seen some work. The headstock was damaged at some point, and someone crafty laid a piece of Indian rosewood over the face after gluing some cracks at the wings. It is an effective fix.
The neck was reset at some point as well, so it is a very playable piece. It is the ultimate camping guitar, or a nice instrument to hand to a student.
Non original chipboard case included.
