Bavaria 1A

The Bavaria 1A is based strongly on a legendary 1937 Hermann Hauser guitar, once owned and played by a certain Andrés Segovia, who described it as the best guitar he ever played.

Andrés Segovia was the first worldwide superstar of the classic guitar. Before his Hermann Hauser guitar, he mainly played guitars made in the workshop of Manuel Ramirez. When Segovia visited the workshop of Hermann Hauser, he asked him to build guitars in a similar style. The result is a guitar Segovia admired very much, considering it the best guitar in his collection.

The original instrument is part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York.
