Helmut Hanika, 1981

A very German guitar. It has a construction like a tank and the body is 10 cm deep. A big heavy duty guitar for players who like to work hard. The top is german spruce and the sides and back are made of nice mahogany. I did repair this instrument to the best of my ability. The top has a binding and purfling, the back no binding. The roset is really nice. The condition of this German guitar is very good and it looks like new. All my guitars have a straight neck. This is your change to get a very solid build German instrument which you can hit if you like. The sound is loud and transparant with enough sustain. The basses and trebles are well balanced! The expressive sound sound makes you feel a real performer when you play this guitar.
