Thank you so much! That is absolutely genius
Awesome! if you need me to help with the translation I will happily oblige
You are an absolute saint, but I know a fair amount of german, I'll manage. Thank you again, you absolutely rock <3
Oops.. I spoke too early, I actually could use a little help. This is the answer I got:
in den 60er und 70er Jahren hat die Firma Hanika unsere Hausmodelle gebaut. Am ehesten kommt es der aktuellen 50er Serie gleich. Preis damals ca.500-700 DM.
Decke : massive Fichte Zargen & Boden Palisander**
By "50er" I assume he can't mean the fifties because he specified the sixties and seventies. What does this mean?
Yes this is the German way to write the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s: 50er (Fünfziger), 60er (Sechsiger), 70er (Siebziger).
The answer, I think, means that it's an original Hanika design, possibly from the 1950s. in the following decades they then had Hanika build guitars to their specifications.
Doesn't "aktuell" mean they are still being produced in that line? I'm a little confused
That word can have many meanings, it sounds like "the actualized/current version made in the 50s", if there were older models for example
Thank you so much. You are amazing.
<3 happy you could find out more about it! really nice to have an historic piece like that, it's beautiful
absolutely 🤯
You are awesome, and I expect the Guitar Gods have taken note. (Pun not intended.)
Someone strummed that instrument hard judging from all the pick gouges on the top. If you find any additional information, please feel free to edit your post with it, I'm definitely curious!
It was definitely loved, my buddy got it at a flea market. I'll keep you updated :)
I posted an update :D
Great story, thank you for sharing!
