Guitar "Soli" (Helmut Hanika) 1959
 This guitar was built in Germany in the late 1950s. It has a laminated maple and mahogany top, sides, and back.
 64 cm scale. Large and thinline with narrower rims.
 The neck is perfectly straight and the high frets are round and unmarked. It has an adjustable truss rod, and the maple neck is perfectly shaped and very thin, the fingerboard is made of ebony wood with nickel silver frets.
 The fingerboard has been reconditioned and serviced, and the frets polished. The overhaul is complete, leaving the guitar in perfect working order: low strings and perfect tuning.
 It has a "Kent Armstrong" pickup with Alnico V ceramic magnets installed, with the interior installation done professionally, without noise or buzzing.
 Although it has some dings and scratches, it is solid and in very good playing condition. It has been fully restored and adjusted; the string height is very comfortable and the intonation is perfect. Strung with 0.11/52 steel.
 It also has a vibrato tailpiece.
