Hermann Guitars Weissenborn Style 1

Back and sides European walnut, top spruce. The same wood that the famous Stradivari violins were made of: Val di Viemme spruce. Maybe thats the reason why it sounds that great. At least that’s what Ermanno says …
Built in 2005 by Ermanno Pasqualato, Italy.

Hermann Guitars

I own a few Weissenborn guitars: An original H. Weissenborn, another one built by the Australian luthier Glenn Wilson, and one Superior (made in Mexico). But, as soon as it comes to recording - none sounds as good as my Hermann Guitars Weissenborn Style 1. Very amazing: It was the cheapest of all! Ermanno’s hand built Weissenborns start at €620.

Ermanno Pasqualato - Hermann Guitars

Handmade European quality - no Chinese junk!
The Italian luthier builds all kinds of lap steel guitars: Acoustic ones, like “Classical” Weissenborn ( 4 different styles), Kona, Teardrop, Weissenborn Dobro, Dobro guitars. And electric lap steels, hollow body, even some made of aluminium.

You are a one man band and need a retro style rhythm machine? Ermanno will be pleased to build a footdrum for you.

Nice price
All of his guitars sound awfully good, look pretty, and best of all - are quite  inexpensive. His acoustic Weissenborns start at an incredible €620! - ever had a hand built guitar for that price?
