Cordoba Master Series Model "1937" Hauser

The guitars made by Hermann Hauser Sr. (1882–1952) were favored by maestros like Andrés Segovia and Julian Bream, which helped make them some of the most desirable classical guitars ever made.

Luckily, Cordoba has been producing guitars in the same Hausser style that require less patience and less financial assets. The 1937 Hauser boasts a solid Englemann spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Handmade by a small team of luthiers in their Oxnard, California workshop, the Hauser was designed to be a replica of the original 1937 model with a few modern refinments such as a truss rod, geared tuning machines and a durable finish.

Hauser delivers powerful but articulate piano-like bass and exceptionally sweet treble. The variety of tonal colors and textures that the guitar delivers at different picking locations between the sound hole and near the bridge is stunning, ranging from warm and mellow to an aggressive, percussive bite suitable for flamenco-style flourishes.
