Upon closer inspection, a small hairline crack can be seen on the top on the right side of the fingerboard. According to Carl Hermann Schäfer's own statement, it was visible from the very beginning.

The original guitar is preserved at the Museu de la Música in Barcelona, and this replica remains true to its character and construction—including the tornavoz, just like the original.\r\n\r\nThe guitar beautifully captures the unique sound of Torres, especially the warm, round trebles that define his instruments. Thanks to the very thin soundboard and cypress back and sides, the guitar is incredibly light, weighing only 1,285 grams including the tuners.\r\n\r\nIts air resonance lies between D♯ and E, contributing to its distinctive “old world” charm. Despite the low body resonance, the basses, mids, and trebles all exhibit long sustain, making the instrument highly expressive and full of character.\r\n\r\nThis guitar practically invites the player to explore Spanish repertoire, and feels particularly suited for the music of Tárrega and his contemporaries.\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nAs a pre-loved instrument, this guitar is in mint condition, showing virtually almost no signs of wear.","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52472531353933,"sku":"S18561","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/karl-hermann-schaefer-2024-15-scaled.jpg?v=1765198738"},{"product_id":"karl-hermann-schafer-2023-santos-hernandez","title":"Karl-Hermann Schäfer - 2023 - Santos Hernandez","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\nKarl-Hermann Schäfer started making guitars in 1966.

This particular guitar is inspired by the guitars of Santos Hernández, and it reflects Schäfer’s dedication to authenticity, nuance, and historical detail.\r\n\r\nTonally, the guitar is strikingly close to a Santos Hernández from the early 1930s, with a similarly angled headstock and an overall playing feel that captures the soul of the original. The instrument delivers a deep resonance between E and F, giving it a distinct “old world” character, while the basses are rich and profound, and the trebles sing with warmth, sustain, and clarity—a rare combination that few luthiers can achieve.\r\n\r\nIt also boasts remarkable evenness across the entire fingerboard and register, making it not only historically accurate but also a highly playable and expressive concert instrument. Internally, the spruce soundboard is supported by a 7-fan bracing system, with five symmetrical braces and two outer braces connected by small diagonal bars, forming subtle “L”-shaped figures. Similar pattern can be found in 1935 Santos Hernandez.\r\n\r\nAs a pre-loved instrument, this guitar is in excellent condition, with only a few minor playing marks. It could easily be rated as near mint, and stands as a beautiful and faithful homage to one of the greatest luthiers of the classical guitar tradition.","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52472995840333,"sku":"S18516","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/Karl-Hermann-Schaefer-2023-Santos-Hernandez-44.jpg?v=1763033398"},{"product_id":"nicolaus-wollf-2017","title":"Nicolaus Wollf - 2017","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eKarl-Hermann Schäfer or previously known as Nicolaus Wollf, started making guitars in 1966.

Based on a Hauser inspired model, it carries a clear historical identity in both construction and sound. The instrument is remarkably light, with a product weight of only 1.350 g, and this low weight is reflected in its immediate response and intimate tonal behaviour. The flamed maple gives the guitar a bright, refined visual presence, while the spruce top supports a transparent and articulate voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eTonally, the guitar has a clear, well separated, and highly responsive character. Its voice is intimate rather than expansive, with a slightly boxy colour that suits the historical orientation of the model. Small changes in the right hand produce noticeable differences in tone, giving the instrument a flexible and almost elastic response. The basses are strong and deep, while the trebles remain focused and clear. With an air body frequency between F sharp and G, the guitar has a grounded resonance without losing definition, making it especially appealing for players who value colour, clarity, and the expressive intimacy of a historically inspired instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis guitar is in mint condition.
