Key Features:

• Construction: The guitar’s neck is made from Spanish cedar, reinforced with an ebony center strip, ensuring durability and stability. An ebony fingerboard offers smooth playability, contributing to the overall high-quality playing experience.
• Hardware: The G8 comes equipped with Schaller or Rubner tuners, inspired by the classic Hauser style, providing reliable and precise tuning.

Design and Aesthetics:

Finished with a high-gloss lacquer, the G8 showcases the natural beauty of its tonewoods while providing protection. The guitar's craftsmanship is evident in its detailed rosette and precise binding, making it as visually appealing as it is acoustically.
