Armin Hanika - Fusion PC

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. A cutaway classical guitar developed on the basis of the Professional Line models for easy fingering and improved playability in high ranges. The FUSION PC’s highlights are the cutaway that ends flush with the base of the neck and the newly developed Hanika Composite soundboard. The rib height has been slightly reduced. Its playing and tonal qualities recommend this guitar for demanding improvisations and jazz pieces. Back and sides are made of highest-quality Indian rosewood with a soundboard made of best cedar wood, crafted using Hanika’s own exclusive layering technique. The combination of ideal rosewood with the extremely thin composite cedar soundboard helps the FUSION PC deliver outstanding attack and sustain along with an extensive range of tone colour. The FUSION PC features a high-gloss finish with a natural sealed soundboard and is equipped with elegant Nicoló Alessi tuners. It also features a high-end pickup system by Udo Rösner, model “Bracket”. The Cedro neck, which is 2-ply reinforced with the finest hardwood, the slightly arched fingerboard made of selected Grenadill and the 3-ply rosewood-maple-macassar headstock are some of the special quality features of this model.
