{"product_id":"karl-hermann-schafer-2024-hauser","title":"Karl-Hermann Schäfer - 2024 Hauser® I","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eKarl-Hermann Schäfer began making guitars in 1966. He completed his apprenticeship under master guitar maker Ernest Köröskeny and later studied with Dieter Hopf. From 1971 to 1994, he worked in Hopf’s workshop before opening his own workshop in Oberneisen, later moving to Niederbrechen in Germany. Schäfer is especially known for historically oriented instruments and replicas based on important models from the classical guitar tradition. His work reflects a close understanding of traditional German guitar making, careful material selection, and a particular sensitivity to the sound ideals of earlier instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2024 Karl-Hermann Schäfer Hauser® I is a traditional classical guitar with a spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, Gotoh tuners, and a full French polish finish. 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. It shows only a few wear marks that are not easily visible and are consistent with sparing use and proper storage. There are no cracks or repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54036875706701,"sku":"KS17924","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/karl-hermann-schafer-2024-hauser-15.jpg?v=1780646095","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/karl-hermann-schafer-2024-hauser","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
