Gerhard Oldiges 2008 – ex Julian BREAM
Rosette
Julian Bream bought this guitar in 2008. He selected it from a choice of three; this one having the closest feel to his 1940 Hauser. It has a body resonance around F, which is low and deep. However his Hauser is unusually, extra deep around E flat and so he has decide to re-sell this Oldiges as he would like to have such a Hauser copy also with a resonance down below E. It is a fine guitar. See the Home Page listing in the £2000-10,000 listings. Now sold 28/8/2009.
