: Don't know what I did wrong to get those other messages duplicated. Hensel guitars are plentiful around here. I have one and three of my friends have them. There's another in the auction tomorrow and if the price is right I'll have a spare. As with all Canadians it's difficult to get information on Arthur Hensel. All the Artist Hensel guitars here have the gold R. S. Williams label inside. All the guitars sound alike and as good as a D-18 Martin but not valuable as the name is not known.

I own an Artist model, made by Arthur Hensel for that R.S. Williams and Son Store, probably built in the late 1930's or early 1940's... Had to replace the tuners on it probably 15 years ago but it's all original other from that. Its got a wonderful sound, the bass especially is exquisite. Wondering what this thing could be worth nowadays.. Any Idea anyone?
