This 1969 Hauser, #850, is an exceptional example of the few cedar guitars that Hermann II made and about as close as one can get to a little Spanish growl intermixed in the usually elegant guitars. It has a very open, loud, and blended tone with just the right amount of warmth from the cedar. The beautiful "usuals" are all here from the Landstorfer tuners, to the Brazilian rosewood, to the orange nut and saddle, and of course the great Hauser green accents in the rosette and purfling that compliment the dark cedar top perfectly. The condition is excellent as well with no cracks, although it appears to have one small ding that has been filled and a refinish of the whole guitar.
