Comments:
These Hauser heritage guitars of Gary Southwell have long been recognised as successful Hauser reproductions, not least by Julian Bream who has had several of them. Their feel, weight, primary resonance, balance and sound character are all resembling the Hauser I instruments - and this one is just like that.
