Description
A beautiful tone from this all-European, all-solid-wood guitar – bright yet warm!
In keeping with the steady move to replace endangered or scarce tropical hardwoods with native-European and sustainable species, the 50 KF-N has solid cherry back and sides, a cherry neck reinforced with chequers wood, a plum fingerboard and the headstock veneers are cherrywood front and back.
The other most important feature of this guitar is the use of thermo-treated woods. Hanika is one of the pioneers among the leading luthiers of Europe to use this process. When used on the soundboard, the spruce has a new mellowness combined with its natural brightness; an extremely attractive combination!
