Used 1972 Favilla FH5 Dreadnought acoustic guitar serial number 52542.
This guitar is in very good condition. The neck has been reset, there are a few marks on the back where the heel meets the body. The bottom of the heel has been refinished dark brown and some minor finish imperfections are visible due to the neck reset. The remainder of the guitar cosmetically is very good.
This is an all mahogany instrument, back, sides, top and neck. The fingerboard is rosewood. Side by side, the tone is quite comparable to a Martin D-15M.
Thomas Favilla states:
“The Favilla Brothers started building string instruments in the United States in 1890. Four years later John (Giovanni) and his brother Joseph, a violin builder, formed a company in 1894. (A generation earlier the family was building string instruments in Italy under great-grandfather Francesco).”

One of the Aquila guitars imported by Favilla from the late 1960's to 1973. This guitar is 1 of about 100 that bears the Aquila/Favilla label inside. Favilla received one order of these from a guitar builder in Japan (Rokkoman) just before Takamine bought them out.
“In the United States, in 1890, they started in a combination music store and instrument shop located at 161 Bowery, and at one point 200 & 201 Grand Street in New York City. In the early 1920's they employed 55 people, building thousands of ukuleles as well as mandolins, banjos, guitars and some violins (built by Joseph). If it had strings on it the Favilla brothers built it.”
Favilla Guitar Serial Numbers Explained
“Over the years there was a close relationship between the Favilla family and John D'Angelico and James (Jimmy) D'Aquisto. John and Jimmy (who was John's apprentice in the 1950's) were truly the Stradivari of guitar builders. They are gone and I have seen no one who comes near them in artistic talent in eliciting such shear tonal quality. As Jimmy D'Aquisto once said, 'A lot of good cabinetmakers out there but no artists'. A lot of people making nice looking instruments but not the superior, great sounding ones.”
