Player Reviews:
"I have had the pleasure of playing several Hauser I instruments and the beautiful clarity and balance is etched in my mind and has become a reference point for me in my work with guitars. This Hauser III is another that I will surely remember, it is so pure and musical. The treble strings are extremely lyrical and almost seems like individual instruments, each complete and rich. The G string is one of the finest I've heard, clear and vibrant not restrained at all. All of this is supported by deep, resonant bass that fills the soul as much as it does the room. As Al says this is one of the finest guitars any of us will ever play, I am thankful to know it if only for a short time." - Paul Heumiller
"This is the best guitar I've ever played, period." - Al Petteway
