Hanika will fit pickups to all the guitars in the range, either as part of a custom order or else after sale.
There are four pickups that are recommended
Udo Rosner Dot – Extremely natural sounding under saddle transducer with in-soundhole volume control. Udo Rosner was the designer and driving force behind AER before going independent
Udo Rosner Hash – as the “Dot” but adding an internal microphone and a microphone blend control to the in-soundhole control
Shadow NFX-MSC-V -high quality under saddle Nanoflex transducer with in-soundhole volume control.
ShadowSH-4020-C -Six independent Nanoflex pickups, one for each string, with side mounted controls giving extensive control over the level/gain of each string as well as Pan, EQ and Phase controls. It also has a built in tuner . Armin Hanika was a consultant to Shadow when they developed this system and the prototypes were tuned and regulated on a Hanika guitar.
If you have another pickup system that you would like fitted, please ask – it is usually possible.
The picture shows the controls for an Udo Rosner Hash pickup mounted inside the soundhole. Mounting in this way means that you don’t have to cut chunks of tonewood out of the side of the guitar to accommodate the electronics.
(The BasisCut PC in the picture has a rosewood rather than an ebony fingerboard).
January 2021 Price Increases
Guitars are not moving into the UK as they used to and we have reluctantly had to increase prices by 5%. If you are buying a guitar without customisation we may be able to supply from 2020 stock so please ask for the pre-Brexit price. The price increase does NOT apply to existing orders.
