2008 HAHN 228 Burgundy Mist, Near Mint, Original Hard, $2,799.00
Based on the various Hahn guitars I've had in stock, I've concluded that 2008 through 2009 was a period during which Chihoe Hahn did some particularly amazing work, as this magnificent Hahn 228 attests to. This guitar has that bit of "life" that Chihoe's best instruments are known for. I was quickly seduced by this guitar! Specs for this very special instrument include: a two piece alder body with a micro-thin Burgundy Mist nitro finish and a total guitar weight of just 6 pounds 13 ounces; a single piece quartersawn maple neck with a mid-60's C shape and depth measurements of .83" at the 1st fret and .92" at the 12th, a lovely dark rosewood fret board with Chihoe's 7.25"-9.5" compound radius, 6105 frets and 1.650" bone nut; Hahn stainless steel bridge and hardware; and for electronics, a Duncan Mini-Hum in the neck, a Duncan hand-wound single coil in the bridge, CTS pots and Orange Drop caps. Upon picking this guitar up for the first time with the pickup selector in the middle position, I was greeted with a tone that immediately took me back to Jimi's tone on "Wind Cries Mary" - just marvelous! This one-owner instrument is in superb condition too with just a few shirt button scuffs on the back that you will find upon close inspection with strong, indirect lighting. The frets show little to no wear. Comes with it's original G&G case and build sheet. Even in my line of work, fine guitars like this don't come around very often....
