Hermut Buchsteiner 1975

This is a guitar made in 1975 by master craftsman Helmut Buchsteiner from Austria. This piece was made during his time with a workshop in Southern Germany. The top is spruce, and the back and sides are believed to be Jacaranda. The neck is in good condition.

Due to a repaired crack on the back, we consulted with a long-established workshop in Tokyo. They inspected the entire instrument and found the finish to be in good condition. However, for maintenance and durability, the entire guitar was refinished with a thin layer of cashew lacquer. Additionally, the bridge was adjusted to lower the string height (6th string: approx. 3.5mm, 1st string: approx. 3mm *slight errors are possible). The craftsmanship and finishing are excellent, preserving the instrument's inherent clear treble and well-defined sound, resulting in a beautiful condition. We believe it can be used for many more years to come.

The tuning pegs are GOTOH 510 series (with bearing rollers). A new BAM case is included.

The storage environment is maintained with 24-hour air conditioning, ventilation, and humidity control. The humidity inside the case is constantly managed between 40-55%, and the temperature is kept at 20°±5°C via an app. The guitar has been stored in a non-smoking environment. This guitar is being sold because I am retiring from classical guitar (due to slow progress and giving up). While not new, this is an instrument that has been carefully maintained for 50 years. We hope to pass it on to someone who will cherish it.
