Armin Hanika - 1a Doubletop/Lattice

Overview

At HANIKA craftsmanship is understood as custom work and sound as art. A guitar from the famous Baiersdorf manufacture is a symbol of quality and craftsmanship tradition. Since 1953 it has been the basis for the success story of the company, combined with trend-setting innovations. Master plucked instrument maker Armin Hanika took over the company from his father in 1993 and has been building classical guitars of outstanding quality ever since.

The 1a Lattice models represent the pinnacle of Armin Hanika's guitar craftsmanship, showcasing exceptional beauty and sophistication. These models feature back and sides constructed from the finest hand-picked Mexican ziricote wood, complemented by a double-top lattice soundboard made from perfectly split cedar wood. The innovative design of the domed soundboard with lattice bracing enhances the guitar's efficiency, while Klaus Scheller tuning machines emphasize the high quality standards that the 1A Lattice demands. Visually, the guitar stands out with its body finished in a UV-curing high-gloss varnish and a soundboard meticulously hand-polished with shellac, presenting a stunning aesthetic that is as refined as it is durable.

Sonically, the 1A Lattice offers exceptional dynamics, rich substance in sound, crispness, and responsive playability. The careful selection of materials and superior craftsmanship ensure that this classical guitar meets the highest demands of professional musicians. Additionally, the inclusion of a luxurious BAM case with the purchase not only protects this exquisite instrument but also reflects the overall quality and value of the guitar. This model is a perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design, making it a sought-after piece for any serious guitarist looking for an instrument that delivers both visually and acoustically.

Armin Hanika 1a Doubletop-Lattice Classical Guitar Review

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
