Classical Tone
I've always loved the sound of a classical guitar whether it was being played by Mexican Mariachi's or Mason Williams performing "Classical Gas". Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood recorded Blind Faith's iconic "Can't Find My Way Home" on classical acoustics and some 22 years later Clapton put the classical at the forefront once again with his ode to his late son Conor, "Tears In Heaven". My very first guitar was given me by my parents when I was 10 years old. In an attempt to steer me away from Rock n' Roll (didn't work) they gave me a junior-sized Favilla Classical acoustic. The guitar was lost through so many years and I would give anything to have it today. I had been playing an inexpensive Spanish guitar that my wife picked up for me on a vacation. The guitar sounded pretty good and I enjoyed it until it took a fall off a high shelf and went to pieces. I had been missing having a nylon string acoustic so I started looking online and remembered my Favilla. I found this 1969 Favilla C-8. It's a beautiful collector's item for a very reasonable price. Herk Favilla and his son Tom built some beautiful instruments until they ceased production in 1973. I'm very happy to have a Favilla in the family again.
