This guitar made by Manuel Adalid's interpretation of a Hermann Hauser guitar. I am very familiar with Hermann Hauser guitars and their sound, and Manuel has done a fanastic job of capturing their essence. The German spruce he has choosen to use for this model is among the finest I have seen, producing notes of crystaline clarity. Its basses are wonderfully complex and rich. The mid-range shines, and the trebles have body, and sing even in the highest register. This guitar is set up well, and has enough bone in the saddle to make adjustments if so desired.
