Hanika 60PF Cocobolo Spruce ClassicCut 2015 | German Masterbuilt Classical Guitar LR Baggs Anthem

I offer here a Hanika 60PF Cocobolo Spruce ClassicCut, a solid classical guitar from the "Meisterklasse" ("master class") of the German noble concert guitar forge of Armin Hanika from the year 2015 with dome-arched solid spruce top over a sevenfold fan bracing, back/sides of impressively grained solid cocobolo, a cedro neck double-reinforced with ebony, high-quality ebony fingerboard, gold Alessi tuners with ebony pegs, artfully pierced cedro headstock with 3-ply cocobolo/maple/rosewood veneer on both sides (!), elaborate ClassicCut made of african ebony as well as L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup system with gossamer shellac hand polish (top) and high gloss natural (body) finish with diverse decorations of abalone and precious woods in excellent condition incl. Hanika Hiscox hardshell case and professional setup with Savarez strings.

This Hanika 60PF Cocobolo Spruce Classic Cut is an absolutely masterfully crafted instrument from Hanika's Meisterklasse, which at Hanika stands for the most sophisticated combination of appearance and ease of sound, under selection of the most exquisite tonewoods.

The asymmetrically weighted domed, thin top of the concert guitar is made of selected spruce, which reveals an extremely resonant sound with impressive volume on the 7-fold bracing. The back and sides are made of cocobolo, a tonewood that is characterized by a particularly dense wood structure and is considered one of the best tonewoods for guitars in general. The guitar thus reveals a very good attack with a full sound and a separating tone, which meets high demands.

Thanks to the L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup system, the instrument also convinces live with a lively-authentic sound.

The cedro neck, which is double-reinforced with ebony, the durable ebony fingerboard and an artfully pierced headstock with 3-ply cocobolo/maple/rosewood veneer on both sides are evidence of the masterful quality of workmanship and attention to detail on this model.

In addition, a 52mm bone nut provides clean intonation, an intricate ebony ClassicCut provides access to the highest registers, and the D1 neck profile offers a smooth playing feel.

Visually, a hand-polished shellac top finish, an abalone-framed rosewood bridge, and gold Alessi tuners with ebony pegs lend the guitar aesthetic perfection.

A new Hanika masterclass guitar with cutaway is currently only available on order and this guitar had a new price of over 5.500€.

The Hanika is in excellent condition and technically perfect. Visually, the guitar has only very fine, superficial signs of use (one scratch below the bridge, micro swirls on finish, etc. - see pictures). The neck is straight and the frets are like new.

Before parting I will set the guitar up with Savarez strings (I am a guitar teacher for many years) and ship insured with DHL for 34.99€ within Germany or 89.99€ within the EU.

Please see all photos & clarify questions with me before buying. Thanks! :)
