Armin Hanika - HE Doubletop

About the luthier

At HANIKA craftsmanship is understood as custom work and sound as art. A guitar from the famous Baiersdorf manufacture is a symbol of quality and craftsmanship tradition. Since 1953 it has been the basis for the success story of the company, combined with trend-setting innovations. Master plucked instrument maker Armin Hanika took over the company from his father in 1993 and has been building classical guitars of outstanding quality ever since.

About the guitar

Back and sides of this HE-Double-Top model are manufactured of finest Ziricote and the top is made of excellent cedar. The asymmetrically weighted domed soundboard that uses a sandwich design optimises efficiency. The HE Doubletop delivers superior dynamics, a balanced range of tone colour and a crisp and sustained sound. The Alessi machine heads with bushes and ebony pegs, the cedro-neck reinforced with best hardwood, the quality ebony fingerboard and 3-ply rosewood maple Makassar headstock show the high quality of the HE Doubletop. The body has a gloss finish with a UV-curing acrylic lacquer and the top has a French polish finish. A Hiscox Pro II case is included.
