The Hanika Natural PF Classical Guitar is a concert line 6-string model featuring a spruce top, a rosewood back and sides, an African blackwood fingerboard, and a natural finish. The Natural PF delivers a very good attack with a full sound and crisp tone. The materials used for building this classical guitar combine to create this beautiful sound with plenty of responsiveness.
The back and sides are crafted from select East Indian rosewood and the top is crafted from the finest spruce. A special lightweight design improves the transfer of resonance to the soundboard. The cedro neck has been reinforced with African blackwood, whilst the fingerboard is made from select blackwood. The triple-pierced rosewood-maple-rosewood headstock and gold-coloured bushed tuning machines underline the high standards that Hanika players demand.
The main features of the Hanika Natural PF Classical Guitar include:
This guitar is suberbly finished, every detail is taken care of, it has a simplistic beauty that is really impressive. You look at it and can instantly understand that this is a quality instrument. At first I was a bit concerned that the finish would be too delicate, but after a few days I was at ease with it, although it looks very natural, it seems resistant too. The sound quality is difficult to describe, but it seems to have quite good harmonics for such a young instrument when we consider that it has a spruce top, which takes some time to develop. It is very comfortable to play and I was particularly impressed with the fretboard, it is very hard and sanded so fine that it has a mirror sheen to it. Although the sound is amazing I think it will gain even more character with time. It is an instrument to keep for life!! Overall I could not me happier. I find it difficult to think of similar quality for this price point. Bonus: the case is pretty amazing too, very sturdy and feels quality to me.
