Classical Guitars - Kent Guitar Classics

Gary Southwell at Hough-on-the-Hill, Lincolnshire.

• Year:

  2011 - number 276

• Body:

  East Indian rosewood - very straight-grained and quarter-sawn; lovely stuff, with the sage green Hauser-style purflings with heel-cap and end details as Hauser did them.
  All shellac french-polished.

• Front:

  European spruce of very fine quality with a lot of medullary over the whole soundboard. Hauser reproduction rosette. Dark, slim rosewood bridge with bone edges to front and rear.

• Tuners:

  Blake-Robson Hauser-style tuners with plain side-plates and ebony buttons mounted on the rosewood-faced head.

• Scale:

  65cm with 19 frets on an ebony fingerboard

• Neck Width:

  50.5mm at the nut with 43.5mm string spacing - as often found on 51 / 52mm neck widths

• Weight:

  1430 grams

• Condition:

  This 2011 instrument is in very good condition; just some really small marks. Looks and feels beautiful.

• 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.
