The manufacture in Baiersdorf traces its roots to Helmut Hanika, who founded the SOLI company in 1953 after learning violin making through the family workshop tradition of his grandfather, Anton Mayer. As demand changed, Helmut Hanika moved from folk guitar production toward high-quality classical guitars, establishing the name Hanika as a respected German reference for refined hand-built instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSince 1993, the company has been led by Armin Hanika, the second generation of the family. Under his direction, HANIKA continues to combine experienced handcraft, carefully selected materials, and modern construction concepts across a wide range of classical guitars, from the Studio Line to the specially made instruments of the Professional Line.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Hanika New Century Lattice belongs to the Concert Line and presents a modern interpretation of the classical guitar, designed for players who want extended comfort, immediacy, and a clear sense of projection. Based on Hanika’s Natural PF model, it combines a thin lattice-braced spruce soundboard with rosewood back and sides, giving the guitar a responsive voice with strong attack, expanded dynamic range, and generous volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMusically, the New Century Lattice is built for clarity and directness. The lattice construction helps the top react quickly under the right hand, while the thermally modified bridge material reduces weight and damping, supporting a crisp, lively response. The sound remains open and articulate, with enough power for larger musical gestures and enough separation for detailed phrasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIts playing concept is equally contemporary. The elevated fingerboard gives easier access to higher positions, the sound port improves the player’s own perception of the instrument, and the armrest adds comfort during longer practice or performance sessions. Finished with Hanika’s Natural surface treatment and equipped with Rubner R2 E tuning machines, the New Century Lattice offers a practical, refined concert instrument for players seeking a modern ergonomic design with a clear and responsive tonal profile. It comes with a black Hanika Hiscox case.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe photos of this guitar are general product images that may differ from the actual instrument.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54313445687629,"sku":"KS17953","price":2899.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/a-arminhanika-newcenturylattice-13112019-14-1024x682.jpg?v=1763031184","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/armin-hanika-new-century-lattice-1","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
