1960s Favilla B-2 Baritone Ukulele

Overview: Favilla baritone ukes are wonderful things. My three "fave" baris are old Kamakas, Favillas, and Martins -- with the Kamaka on the bright and chimey spectrum, the Martins on the mellow and sweet, and the Favillas somewhere in the sweet-spot middle. They're almost flamenco-like in vibe. Anyhow, this one dates to the early '60s per its specs, finish style, and label and it both looks and sounds great, too. These are solid mahogany throughout and have Brazilian rosewood fretboards and bridges.

Repairs included: Max gave this a level/dress of the frets, I helped him mod the bridge and fit a fret saddle (to improve action and intonation), and then he set it up and cleaned it up. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: It's in excellent shape for one of these! The finish has the usual weather-checking and general minor wear and tear of light scratches throughout but it glows nicely. It's completely original except for a mod to the saddle area and fret saddle install. It still has its original friction pegs and I would be happy to swap them out for guitar-style tuners (individual unit) free of charge or Gotoh UPTs (at cost) if desired, but they do work just fine.

It comes with: It's got an old chip case.
