Hüttl Archtop – 1960s German Vintage Sharkfin Jazz Guitar / Gitarre

This is a beautiful archtop model by "Hüttl". Wolfgang Hüttl was a german luthier, who built many guitars and basses during the golden age of german guitars between the 1950s and 1980s. Hüttl was a traditional luthier, who learned in Schönbach and Bubenreuth. He built many interesting models and mainly focused on acoustic archtops, but also had a few electric models. The most interesting guitars are the "Standard-Series" and the "Opus-Series".

The guitar is in really good condition for its age with only very little wear, as you can see in the pictures. The tuners turn smoothly and hold the string tension well. The guitar sounds really full and well and is perfect for the blues and jazz music of the 50s and 60s. The guitars neck is not straight as you can see in the pictures. Normally this guitar would be arround 1000€ but since the neck is not perfectly playable with low action all the way down I have reduced the price greatly. Please see pictures. The frets where polished, the fretboard got oiled and the strings are new too.

If you have any questions left, or if you need more pictures, feel free to ask :-)

About shipping:

I ship worldwide with DHL and with the DHL-shipping insurance wich goes up to 500€. I am not going to lie to you or blandish a possible transport risk like some other people do. International shipping can be dangerous and packages are sometimes treated roughly. If you however choose to have an international shipment, I will do my absolute best to protect the guitar. I have collected a lot of experience in the past on how to ship a guitar securely. I will take photos of the packaging and the exact condition of the guitar right before I ship it. You should know, that after shipping the guitar and entering the shipping number, I am not responsible for anything anymore and my  job is done. But I will gladly back you up with the insurance case with said photos and exact details in the rare case anything goes wrong. The standart insurance I ship all guitars with is up to 500€. If you want a higher insurance, you can get that, just ask me first.
