Description
HIn the storied alleyways of Granada, a tale of artistry unfolds in the hands of Henner Hagenlocher, a master luthier with deep roots in the rich traditions of guitar-making. His journey, which began under the guidance of Michael Wichmann in Hamburg, was passionately driven by a reverence for the works of Antonio de Torres. Henner’s thirst for perfection took him to London’s Guildhall University, where his grasp over Music-Technology was deepened.
Perched in the heart of Calle Guadarrama 3, in 1996, he established a sanctuary, where each guitar was not merely crafted but birthed with soul and character. And in 2018, celebrating a quarter-century of unparalleled craftsmanship, the world witnessed a masterpiece.
This breathtaking guitar is more than just wood and strings; it’s a symphony of history, homage, and unparalleled craftsmanship. The three-lobes head gracefully nods to Torres, while its bear-claw spruce top whispers tales of delicate artistry. The Amazon rosewood, with its mesmerizing patterns, flows across the back and sides, creating a visual concert that’s as compelling as its sound. Adorned with top-tier Fustero tuners, its every detail sings of precision.
Yet, the true magic is in its voice—a warm, full-bodied resonance that fills the room. It possesses the inherent clarity and directness of spruce, yet dances with an array of overtones and hues. Even in its youth, its volume and sustain challenge the conventions, promising a legacy of melodious decades ahead.
This is not just a guitar; it’s Henner Hagenlocher’s heartstring, echoing stories of tradition, dedication, and love for the art of lutherie.
