    Description

    Shes got some bumps and bruises but a solid,  pretty darn good guitar at a great price.  Comparable to Altamira in quality and sound.
    Favino size body with 16" lower bout
    solid Engelmann spruce top
    soundboard transducer pickup with endpin jack
    Custom pickguard
    upgraded bridge
    Excellent grover tuners
    french 10th fret marker
    Great action and playability
    Superficial flaws (see photos) - thin top cracks that have been repaired and solid, a few frets missing from fingerboard extension, some finish touch up on side near tailpiece.  If you look closely you can see evidence of the original 9th fret marker.  Light nicks and scratches.  The low E tailpiece post takes a loop end string because there is an old string stuck in the hole.  (probably could be removed)
    The history: In 2007 Dell Arte USA created and  imported a new line of guitars from Musiclink.  These guitars were widely accepted as better sounding then the common gitane guitars.  The manufacturing later switched to Paris Swing which unfortunately were inferior to the nice boxes Musiclink had created.
