Favino #658 (1979) Modele 10, Petite Bouche (Gitane, Django, Gypsy, Manouche, Gipsy)

Selling my 1979 Favino #658

This guitar has a spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and has a 3 piece maple neck with a sunburst finish that has worn off in a cool pattern. As of January 2024, I put a set of vintage, authentic SB tuners on it, so that it would be more period accurate.

The guitar has a 666mm scale length.

The original bridge and shims are included. I had another bridge built for it and the action is around 2.8mm low E & 2.5mm high E and the guitar plays fantastically.

As you can see, it is a well used guitar. I think the pictures show the condition much better than I can describe it. All cracks are stable and do not move, so they should not be an issue in the future. As seen in the pictures, there is a hole on the top under where one of the bridge feet would be. This is from a previous Bigtone pickup installation (the guitar no longer has a Bigtone pickup).

If you look up Jon Delaney on YouTube, you can see videos of him playing the guitar much better than I ever could.

The YouTube video shows Jon playing this exact guitar.

If you are interested in more pictures send me a message and I can send you a photo album link with lots more close up detailed photos.

Comes with a TKL hardshell case.
