In 1953, company founder Helmut Hanika manufactured his first classical guitars in Baiersdorf, Bavaria. This year, Hanika Guitars is celebrating its 70th anniversary with the current owner, Armin Hanika. A guitar from our well-known workshop is still a symbol of quality and traditional craftsmanship and our "Limited Edition" for the anniversary tells a story of its own.
Martin Weiss is a professional guitarist from Cologne and together with the Swedish-Argentinian singer Alicia Nilsson he forms the "ALMA ACOUSTIC DUO" . Martin is a Hanika player for many years and in November 2021 he could pick up his new Hanika HE-Lattice “ALMA model” in our workshop in Baiersdorf, specially made according to his specifications.
Andreas Schulz from the German guitar magazine "AKUSTIK GITARRE" tested the prototype of the completely revised Fusion PC - Model 2022. We´ve further adapted and optimized this model to the needs of Fusion players.
For many years we have been working with the charismatic guitarist Estas Tonne, who describes himself as a modern troubadour. We´ve made different Hanika concert guitars for him, specially designed to meet his requirements.
Tobias Hanika, the eldest son of Armin Hanika, passed his examination to become a luthier in March 2021, thus starting the third generation at Hanika Gitarrenbau.
Last year, at the end of February, when "corona-technically" the world was still all right, our endorser Daniel Göritz, guitarist/composer/editor/teacher/... from Berlin, picked up his new Hanika special model with expandeded bass range by an extended and individually fixable 7th string.
